KSON Cliff and Company: Finalist for CMA

Cliff and Company among the top in the country

Five finalists are selected for CMA Broadcast Personality and CMA Radio Station of the Year in four categories (small, medium, large, and major market). The categories are established by market size based on population as ranked by Arbitron.

Entries for Broadcast Personality of the Year are judged on aircheck, ratings, community involvement, and biographical information. Candidates for Station of the Year are judged on airchecks, ratings history, community involvement, and format leadership.

Three finalists are selected for National Broadcast Personality of the Year. To be eligible, candidates must be syndicated, short-form, hub voice-tracking, and satellite personalities heard in at least three markets with a minimum of 40 shows per year.
