Audio is changing.
​
We've witnessed the dominance of AM radio,
the growth of FM...
and the emergence of streaming and podcasts.
But one thing hasn't changed:
the opportunity for talented people
to serve listeners with great content.

of innovators in audio through scholarships and mentoring,
and to celebrate those Georgia radio legends
who've accomplished so much.
