CRYSTAL RADIO AWARD PRESENTED TO WSTW-FM LAS
VEGAS -- WSTW-FM Wilmington, DE today was awarded the National Association
of Broadcasters' Crystal Radio Award. Since 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio
Awards have recognized radio stations for their outstanding year-round
commitment to community service. Ten winners
were chosen among 50 finalists.
Recipients were recognized at today's NAB Show Radio Luncheon. "WSTW
is committed to serving the communities of Delaware and the surrounding
tri-state region. We are proud to be radio broadcasters and our entire
staff works hard throughout the year supporting a variety of efforts that
help improve the lives of thousands of our neighbors. During 2010, WSTW
excelled at originating its own public service campaigns as well as creating
partnerships to bring attention and support to many causes. WSTW's busy
year was highlighted by a series of high-profile events that benefited
local charities including March of Dimes, Wilmington Flower Market, Willowdale
Steeplechase, Kennett Square Mushroom Festival, Swim4kids at A.I. DuPont
Children's Hospital and the Basket Brigade. This is in addition to WSTW's
year-round partnership with Smart Drive, the safe driving program it helped
originate that is now in place at 110 high schools across Delaware Valley.
In all, WSTW helped mobilize over 8,250 volunteers, raise $1.237 million
and made cash contributions of $31,411 in 2010. WSTW's Smart Drive program
was honored with the NAB's Service to America Award in 2009. It also received
the NAB Marconi Radio Award for CHR Station of the Year in 2006 and was
a Crystal Radio Award finalist in 2010." For more
