We’re

would be possible without our listeners. They help make the show what it is.” –
Premiere's Bobby Bones
"We
are excited, proud and grateful to our listeners, many of whom have been with
us since the beginning in 1999. We've been nominated a few times but this is
our first win, and it feels pretty great. Getting that call from Keith Urban
was truly thrilling. We've known him since we first started our show, which
made it kind of a full circle moment." –KWJJ/Portland's Amy Faust
“Winning
a CMA is a huge honor. I am happy for my partner, Amy Faust and the station
too. To be honest, I am still kind of wondering if Keith Urban butt dialed us
by mistake.” – KWJJ/Portland's Mike
Chase
“Amanda
and Jesse winning their first, of hopefully many CMA Awards today, brings to
fruition a year of working very hard to entertain our listeners with fun and
compelling content. I, along with the entire staff, are very happy for the two
of them!” –WUBE/Cincinnati PD Grover
Collins
"Natalie
and I are very excited about our CMA Award! To say we are honored is an
understatement. We have great respect for those that were nominated with
us." –KWEN/Tulsa Dir./Branding & Programming/morning host Matt Bradley
"When
we first got in this business, we never dreamed that we would one day be
nominated for such an honor and then to actually win it is unreal to us. It is
a blessing each and every day to do something we love and have an absolute
blast with it. Thank you to the CMA, the artists, writers and everyone in the
industry that made this dream come true.” – WBUL/Lexington's Officer Don & DeAnn
"Thank
you CMA. The team worked very hard to earn this recognition. I am honored to be
surrounded by a cast that consistently trades acceptable for excellent. I have
honestly never worked with a team so dedicated to their local community, each
other and the health of our industry." – WIL/St. Louis PD Scott Roddy
"The
competition this year was fierce. I'm so grateful the judges heard our heart
and soul in our entry. Major thanks to the record labels who understand what a
special bond we have with both our listeners and artists. Mike, Marty, Janie,
Cash, Cruise, Steve, Mimi and Rachel, our webmaster, are 100% focused on providing
meaningful conversation and companionship connecting on air and online every
hour, every day with the most loyal, brilliant listeners who always shine as
our stars." – WQDR/Raleigh
VP/Programming Lisa McKay Blake
"It's a huge honor and very humbling to be able to entertain and serve the people of East Tennessee. This team is nothing short of phenomenal. From the air staff, promotions, sales department, business office, top to bottom we all feel extremely blessed." –WIVK/Knoxville PD Nikki ThomasWe just won 2017 CMA Large Market of the year!!— 947 QDR (@947_QDR) 10 October 2017

"This
incredible honor and recognition is a direct reflection on our community, every
part of our submission has something to do with Pensacola. We are proud to be
locally owned and operated by Dave and Mary Hoxeng and it is our privilege to
serve in times of need and times of joy. Our listeners are our family and to be
recognized as such on a national level is a great and heartfelt honor." – WYCT/Pensacola PD/morning host Brent Lane
