It’s a Two-peat!

It’s a Two-peat!

US99, Lisa Dent, Ramblin’ Ray and Marci Braun pick up some new hardware at annual industry awards program.

Annually, the Country Radio Broadcasters Association convenes, in Nashville, to discuss the state of the industry, meet with the artists and to honor some of country radio’s top stations and personalities.

While there’s no question to us Chicago’s country radio station is award-winning, it appears members of the country radio industry concur. For the second year in a row, America’s largest country station, WUSN – US99.5, picked up the coveted Major Market Station of the Year Award presented by the broadcasters’ association and a industry trade publication.

In addition to the station’s overall win, the morning drive team at the Lisa Dent and Ramblin’ Ray show grabbed their second Personality/Show of the Year Award and evening DJ, Marci Braun, picked up another CRB Award for Station Music Director.

Congratulations to the WUSN Team!

 

Here’s some archive footage from the station’s “All Access Week” freaturing a bit of Braun and some other cool stuff.
