CBS Radio Station WUSN-FM Chicago Honored By Country Music Association As Station Of The Year


CBS RADIO station WUSN US 99.5 was honored as Country Music Station of the Year in Markets 1-25 this week by the Country Music Association.

 

The 2006 CMA Broadcast Awards were announced on-air during WUSN's morning show by CMA Awards nominee Little Big Town on Monday, October 2. The band spoke with morning show hosts Ray Stevens, Lisa Kosty & Bonnie Greene and congratulated them on the station's achievement. CMA nominated artists have delivered the exciting news to CMA Broadcast winners every year since 2000.

 

US 99.5, "America's Country Station," is the largest and most listened to country music radio station in the United States. WUSN was judged on airchecks, ratings history, community involvement and leadership by the CMA Awards committee. WUSN's leadership is especially noted in their establishment of a continuously programmed HD Radio multicast channel.

 

CMA Radio Station of the Year and other CMA Broadcast Awards recipients will be recognized during "The 40th Annual CMA Awards." Winners receive their trophies during pre-telecast ceremonies and will be acknowledged during the live broadcast on November 6.
