The Texas Association of Broadcasters is handing out the awards and Cox Media Group is to receive the Bonner McLane Public Service Award for outstanding public service in the Large Market Radio Category. The award will be presented at the 2017 TAB Convention and Trade Show on August 10, in Austin. CMG Houston’s cluster of KGLK-FM & KHPT-FM/The Eagle, KKBQ-FM/The New 93Q, and KTHT-FM/Country Legends 97.1 won the award for their 2016 Cares for Kids Radiothon. Over two days of live broadcasting, the radiothon helped raise $655,329 to benefit patient care, research, and education at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.
“I don’t know of another industry that consistently does more for their communities than local broadcasters,” said CMG Houston VP and Market Manager Mark Krieschen. “It’s an honor for Cox Media Group Houston to be recognized as a leader in serving the needs of our communities.”
