His innovative business strategies have earned him recognition on Billboard’s Power 100 list and Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business, along with the Music Business Association’s Presidential Award for Outstanding Executive.
Beyond music, Borchetta is a committed philanthropist, contributing significantly to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and co-founding the Music Has Value fund.
The CRB President’s Award will be presented at the 2024 Country Radio Hall of Fame event on June 19 at the Virgin Hotel Nashville.

CRB Board President Kurt Johnson said, “Scott is one of those you can count on one hand. Music Row visionary and trailblazer, race car driver, television celebrity, entrepreneur, maverick. From his first days in promotion in Nashville to his iconic status today, he continues to be a true original. I hope you’ll be in the room as we celebrate one of the best ever in the business.”
