Many of the 17 trophies were awarded to the old CBS Radio stations because, of course, they were well known for their news stations. They are all now under the Entercom umbrella, so when you combine the power of 1010 WINS and WCBS-AM in New York City with WBEN in Buffalo, the result is 17 Associated Press awards, including eight first-place category wins.
Forty-six radio and television stations submitted more than 524 entries in the annual awards. Here is what each station won an award for…
