Radio Ink awarded the very best performers in the world of radio sales on Wednesday afternoon at the Radio Masters Sales Summit with the presentation of the 2023 Radio Wayne Awards finalists.
Named for Wayne Cornils, a man whose passion and devotion to the radio industry Radio Ink Founder Eric Rhoads thought more should emulate, the 31st annual awards saw a packed room at the Cincinnati Airport Marriott. Winners were determined by a “blind” system in which judges do not know the identity of the finalists they are evaluating.
