On June 13th, the Illinois Broadcasters Association held its annual awards gala in Springfield, Illinois. It was a very good night for Neuhoff Media, who came home with 10 First Place Awards including the coveted Station of the Year for WFMB-FM/Springfield.
This is the first year that all of Neuhoff Media’s Illinois markets received finalist consideration and was also the first time all of Neuhoff Media’s Illinois markets each won a first-place award in the state association award programs.
Mike Hulvey, Neuhoff Media’s COO/Vice President, stated, “We are very proud of the work done by our amazing team.” Neuhoff Media’s CEO/President, Beth Neuhoff, added, “There are so many people who contribute to the success of what we do every day for our listeners, users, communities, advertisers and each other.”
