Factoid Friday: 16 Noms

By Annmarie Dean

We just found out this week that WBFO-FM 88.7 / WNED-AM 970 have been honored with a total of 16 award nominations from the New York State Associated Press Broadcasters Association(NYSAPBA). Each stations received eight nominations and will compete against commercial and other public radio stations in all of Upstate New York. 

Hopefully, we will be able to add to the two top honors from last year and four special mentions.  Winners will be announced at the annual NYSAPBA awards banquet on June 2. 

Congrats to our news team for their continued excellent news coverage and accomplishments!

I’m an admitted news junkie – it’s like a hobby. I like to stay informed – knowing I’m barely scraping the tip of the information iceberg. I get my news from myriad sources: the Web, newspapers, magazines, TV—even radio. Radio? Remember when radio stations routinely covered local news?
