The National Association of Broadcasters has announced the 50 finalists for the 2025 NAB Crystal Radio Awards, which have honored radio stations for their outstanding community service efforts since 1987.
Ten Crystal Radio Award winners will be chosen from the finalists by a panel of judges representing the broadcast industry, community service organizations and public relations firms.
The awards will be presented during a special ceremony at the NAB State Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., on March 4.
NAB will also present Hubbard Broadcasting’s WJJY-FM in Brainerd, Minn., with the esteemed Crystal Heritage Award at the ceremony. The Heritage Award recognizes radio stations that have won a total of five Crystal Radio Awards for exceptional year-round community service efforts.
