According to mlive.com, the award for the Tony Gates Morning Show with Michelle McKormick and Uncle Buck, which airs 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays, was the only award given to Cumulus Media-owned WLAV-FM during the Michigan Association of Broadcaster’s 2012 Broadcast Excellence Awards held Wednesday in Lansing .
N/T WOOD 1300 AM, 106.9 FM Grand Rapids and WGVU Grand Rapids both were named Station of the Year in the respective categories, competing against similar-sized commercial radio or public radio stations in Michigan . Larger stations in the Detroit area and stations in smaller cities compete in separate classifications.
Congratulations comments poured in to WLAV-FM’s Facebookpage on Thursday.
“Way to go Tony, Michelle and Uncle Buck,” said Kim St. James from WTNR-FM’s “Thunder Country,” another Cumulus Media station in West Michigan .
