The event was held in conjunction with The NAB Radio Show in Philadelphia. Established in 1989, and named after inventor and Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi, the NAB Marconi Radio Awards are given to radio stations and outstanding on-air personalities to recognize excellence in radio. An independent task force selected finalists and ballots were sent to members of the NAB Marconi Radio Awards Selection Academy in August. The ballots were tabulated by RSM McGladrey. Kidd Kraddick, host of Premiere Radio Networks' nationally syndicated "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" show, served as the evening's emcee. The awards dinner featured a performance by BMI singer/songwriter Delbert McClinton. The NAB Radio Show is the largest annual convention for radio. This year's show, Sep. 21 - 23 in Philadelphia, features interactive sessions, special events and exhibits. More information about The NAB Radio Show is available at www.nab.org/conventions. The National Association of Broadcasters is a full-service trade association that promotes and protects free, over-the-air local radio and television stations' interests in Washington and around the world. NAB is the broadcaster's voice before Congress, federal agencies and the courts. NAB also serves a growing number of associate and international broadcaster members.
