News/talk has produced Marconi winners and finalists for years. Hosts who've been recognized before -- or who've built shows around exactly the kind of local connection and audience loyalty the Marconis are meant to honor -- don't typically forget to apply.

The winners will be revealed on Tuesday, October 20th, during a dinner program at the Edison Ballroom in New York City.

"I can tell you just based on the level of engagement and want to break through this on behalf of our champions in Washington, DC, including the chairman of the FCC on this issue of ownership, very, very confident on where we are.”

"The same competitive forces that have already devastated local newspapers now seriously threaten broadcasters and their services to local communities.”

"The FCC must be careful to avoid actions that create further instability for the local stations viewers, and listeners depend on."

"Brands are all-in on everything these days. The good, the bad, and the ugly."

"Moving more sports behind paywalls would increase consumer costs, price some consumers out of watching, and keep others in the dark."

“This industry stands alone in its mission to inform, protect and uplift every community in America, regardless of ZIP code or income level.”
