NAB CRYSTAL RADIO AWARD PRESENTED TO WREW-FM

LAS VEGAS -- WREW-FM Cincinnati, OH 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 who were honored at today's NAB Show Radio Luncheon.

WREW-FM provided this description of its accomplishments in 2011:

"In 2011, WREW's involvement ranged from large scale events like the Tour De Cure that raised $132,000 to fight diabetes to small, meaningful personal connections as staff became mentors and pen pals to area third graders. WREW's involvement went national raising nearly $3,000 for families affected by the Missouri and Alabama tornadoes. Events supported or created by WREW raised a total of $2,075,703. WREW, nominated for the 2011 NAB Marconi Radio Award for AC Station of the Year, aired over 6,100 minutes of public service announcements and community-focused programming. WREW was proud to be a part of Race for the Cure to support the fight against breast cancer. Often names and faces are lost in our service to the community, but a meaningful memory was born at the completion of this race for one of WREW's team: The true honor and privilege to cheer on a breast cancer survivor as she raced toward the finish line and to be the first to hug and congratulate her amazing accomplishment."
