Owner Cox Media Group announced The New 93Q was named 2014 Major Market Station of the Year at the 2014 National Association of Broadcasters' Marconi Radio Awards. The awards were announced Thursday night at the annual NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner & Show held during the Radio Show in Indianapolis, IN.
This is the first time The New 93Q has received an award of this magnitude according to the station.
"It's a great honor for our radio station, especially our employees to be recognized as best in class,” said CMG Houston VP and Market Manager Mark Krieschen. "We are privileged to have the opportunity to entertain, inform, and inspire our listeners each day."
The awards recognize radio's outstanding on-air personalities and stations.
"This incredible honor is the culmination of hard work by the entire team at The New 93Q,” said CMG Houston Operations Manager Johnny Chiang. “I could not be more proud of the folks whose passion for country music, radio, and our community makes The New 93Q a very special radio station and an incredibly rewarding place to work."
The station adds that 1.3 million Houstonians tune into the station on a weekly basis.
Earlier this month, Cox Media Group Houston announced the Country Music Association (CMA) nominated KKBQ-FM as a finalist for two prestigious awards: Major Market Station of the Year and Major Market Personality of the Year for The Q Morning Zoo with Tim Tuttle, Kevin Kline and Erica Rico.
The 48th Annual CMA Awards Show will be hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live on ABC-TV from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, November 5th at 7pm.
