PATERSON SIGNS BILL OVERTURNING "NO COMPETE" CLAUSES
New York Governor David Paterson has signed into law a bill that would overturn certain agreements that prevent broadcast personalities from taking jobs with a competitor in the same region if they quit or are fired. The result of such agreements is that many of these personalities are either forced to move outside New York to find work or limit the kind of jobs they can apply for in the state. In a statement, Paterson said, "The contract provisions we're banning placed an unfair burden on these professionals by limiting their ability to move to other employers within the same market or within a certain time period. With the approval of this bill, we hope to empower broadcasters with greater independence as they pursue employment options."
