Audacy is committed to making a meaningful difference at scale and its stations have shown their outstanding community efforts with acknowledgment from the 2025 Crystal Radio Awards presented to WCBS-FM 101.1 (WCBS-FM) in New York and Mix 104.1 (WWBX-FM) in Boston. Initiatives like Mix 104.1’s Deck The Hall Ball that collected toys for kids and WCBS-FM’s Foxx & Annie’s Vet Dog Fund highlight that value. 

For broadcasters, receiving a Crystal Radio Award is more than just an accolade—it’s a testament to the station’s dedication to making a difference in its community.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Crystal Radio Awards are a prestigious recognition of excellence in radio broadcasting, honoring stations that go above and beyond to serve their communities. Since 1987, these awards have celebrated the vital role that local radio plays in informing, supporting, and uplifting audiences through public service initiatives, charitable efforts, and impactful storytelling.

Radio has long been a powerful medium for connection, reaching millions of listeners with news, entertainment, and emergency updates. But beyond the airwaves, many stations dedicate significant resources to community outreach—whether through disaster relief efforts, fundraising campaigns, educational programs, or partnerships with local organizations. The NAB Crystal Radio Awards highlight these outstanding contributions, reinforcing the industry’s commitment to public service.
