AP Honors The Best in NY News Broadcasting

WNYC radio in New York City and Elmira's WENY-TV have won the top awards in the New York State Associated Press Broadcasters Association's annual news awards competition.

WNYC won eight first-place awards to earn the NYSAPBA's Steve Flanders Award, given to the radio station with the most top finishes in the competition for news stories aired during the previous calendar year.

WNYC edged out WRVO-FM in Oswego, which won seven first-place awards. Buffalo's WIVB-TV won five first-place awards.

The awards were presented Saturday night during the NYSAPBA's annual banquet in Saratoga Springs.
