Westwood One has picked up a National Headliner Award. The award from the Press Club of Atlantic City was a first place honor in the Pandemic Coverage/Project category.

The Summer of COVID-19’, aired on the Jim Bohannon Show. The program was produced and broadcast early in the pandemic and imagined what an altered summer would be like, with family vacations and trips cancelled, all of society at a halt, and a great deal of uncertainty ahead.

In presenting the award to Westwood One, the judges commented, “We think we remember the whole COVID sequence. But ‘The Summer of COVID-19′ brings it all back. Great audio and narration of the many aspects of the pandemic as it affected the U.S. from early in 2020 through the summer months …  it’s an excellent recap with great audio that will bring back memories, good and bad, in classic radio style.”

Westwood One was also named third-place winner in the Documentary or Public Affairs category for the Independence Day special ‘Black Lives Matter: From Protests to Police Reform.’  A third-place award was also earned in the Feature and Human Interest category for ‘New York City Protests – Making A Difference.’
