Two Nebraska Stations Up For Crystal Radio Awards

The National Association of Broadcasters is out with its 2007 finalists for the Crystal Radio Awards. Since 1987, the Crystal Radio Awards have recognized radio stations for their outstanding commitment to community service.

Among the 50 finalists are two stations from Nebraska: KFOR (1240 AM) in Lincoln and KCSR (610 AM) in Chadron.

The finalists were chosen by a panel of judges representing broadcasting, community service organizations and public relations firms. The winners will be announced at a luncheon on April 17 during the NAB convention in Las Vegas.

Last year, Omaha radio station KBBX (1420 AM) was one of 10 stations to win a Crystal Radio Award. KFOR has won two Crystals previously, in 1991 and 2004.
