IBA Nat'l Cash Contest Called Success


The Independent Broadcasters Association (IBA) has wrapped up its fourth bi-annual IBA National Cash Contest. One hundred IBA-member radio companies and 233-member radio stations participated, with 50 $1,000 prizes and one $10,000 grand prize given away to listeners.

“Congratulations to all the participating stations and winners!” exclaimed Ron Stone, President of IBA. “The IBA National Cash Contest continues to be one of the strongest benefits of being an IBA member. Any IBA member can participate in this fully managed turnkey program, providing independent stations with a contest equal to or stronger than any national contest from the larger groups,” Stone added.

“The cost for an IBA member to participate is only $300 per contest,” Stone continued. “If you are an independent operator and not taking advantage of an IBA membership, you are missing enormous opportunities.”

“Participation of IBA members in the Spring2022 contest was up from the fall, and we anticipate continued growth in participation,” stated Tony Renda, CEO of Renda Broadcasting and Board member of the IBA. “The contest works for the smallest independent operator to the largest and in any market size,” said Renda.

“The IBA is delivering on its promise to give independents benefits that only scale can deliver,” Renda concluded.

IBA member station volunteers fully produced the contest. Vipology served as an independent source for all random drawings.

“A special thanks to Renda Broadcasting’s Steve Granato; Adams Radio Group’s JJ Fabini, Taylor Morgan, and Randy Alomar; and IBA Board Member and radio consultant Gary Berkowitz for their leadership in managing the continued development of this national promotion and the audio production from the winners,” said Stone.
