Marconi Radio Award
|
NAB President, David Rehr, with
Ham Broadcasting Co. President, D. J. Everett,
in the lobby of WKDZ/WHVO studios.
The Marconi is placed between them.
In 2002, WKDZ-FM became the only Kentucky radio station ever to be selected as Small Market Station of the Year by the National Association of Broadcasters as recipient of its coveted Marconi Radio Award, the most prestigious and sought after recognition in American broadcasting.
The criteria used by the Marconi judges include ratings, community awards and recognition, events sponsored by the station, continuing community service broadcasts, and staff involvement in the community.
The Marconi judges cited WKDZ's broadcasts for the Relay for Life, the Rotary Auction, the Community Food Bank, the Trigg County Country Ham Festival, and countless others in making its decision.
The CONGRESSIONAL RECORD said, "WKDZ is a shining example of how a privately owned business can on one hand be a profitable contributor to the local economy and on the other be an active and influential participant in the community." |
