Albuquerque news/talk station KKOB has been named the Metro Market Station of the Year by the New Mexico Broadcasters Association during its annual Excellence in Broadcasting Awards event.
It is the second consecutive year the Cumulus-owned station has been bestowed the honor.
In addition to being named the station of the year, KKOB was also awarded six other honors, including Best Breaking News, Complete Newscast, and Sports play-by-play, among others.
Individually, KKOB news anchor Haylee Gonzales was named Newscaster of the Year.
“It’s the hard work and dedication to factual journalism that brings success. Each knows and understands just how important their work is in relaying details correctly and concepts honestly,” KKOB News Director John Summers said.
“The bottom line is simple. They love what they do. And it shows.”
