The National Association of Broadcasters announced the 50 finalists for the 28th Annual Crystal Radio Awards. Since 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio Awards have recognized radio stations for their outstanding year-round commitment to community service.

The Luncheon, sponsored by ASCAP, will be held Tuesday, April 14 during the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas.

Crystal Radio Award finalists were chosen by a panel of judges representing broadcasting, community service organizations and public relations firms.
Finalists will be honored and winners announced at the Radio Luncheon, where Golden Globe nominee, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio personality Marilu Henner will present a keynote address. Radio hosts of Southern California's longest-running a.m. drive show, the "Kevin & Bean Morning Show," Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter, will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
This speaks volumes about radio stations today. In this feel good society, there is an award for everything even for doing what radio stations are licensed to do...serve the public interest. That's like getting an award for showing up at work to do your job. Surely we're better than this.
