The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has announced 50 finalists for the 2025 NAB Crystal Radio Awards, honoring outstanding community service by radio stations. Ten winners will be selected by a panel of judges from the broadcast industry, PR firms, and community organizations, with the awards presented at the NAB State Leadership Conference in Washington, DC, on March 4. Additionally, Hubbard Broadcasting’s WJJY will receive the prestigious Crystal Heritage Award, recognizing stations that have won five Crystal Radio Awards for sustained community service. NAB highlighted the importance of these awards in promoting broadcasters’ commitment to their communities. Finalists include stations from across the U.S., such as KSLX-FM in Phoenix, WBAL-AM in Baltimore, WCBS-FM in New York, and WTOP-FM in Washington, DC. The Crystal Heritage Award is described as “a testament to stations that consistently prioritize service to their communities.” A full list of finalists and more details are available on the NAB website.
