88.1 the Park is a Finalist for the 2016 Marconi Radio Award

Maybe the third time will be the charm.

For the third consecutive year, the students and staff of  88.1 The Park are being recognized alongside America’s elite broadcasters after the station was named a finalist for the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Radio Award for Non-Commercial Station of the Year.

88.1 The Park is the only high school radio station to receive a nomination in the history of the Marconi awards.   Three college-level student stations and one professional station round out the 2016 class of Non-Commercial finalists.  The awards will be presented on Thursday September 22, 2016 at the NAB Marconi Radio Awards 27th Anniversary Dinner and Show in Nashville Tennessee.  88.1 the Park staff members will be in Nashville for the NAB Radio Show and the Marconi Awards.

“We’re excited to be a finalist for the third year in-a-row . This is an incredibly prestigious honor for our hard working and dedicated staff,” said Amanda Barberena, Program Director

“We couldn’t achieve this without the support of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, the board of education, administrators and staff.   We’re lucky to have been part of such a great community,” said Bill Keith, Station Manager.
