Wisconsin broadcasters take bow at WBA Awards Gala

In the News

Radio and television stations from across Wisconsin were on hand Saturday to be recognized at the 2024 Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Awards Gala. The awards were handed out at the Madison Marriott West in Middleton with 400 in attendance.

Competition for this year’s awards was as strong as ever with 1,535 award entries. A total of 120 stations participated. Entries were judged by professional broadcasters outside Wisconsin.

“The atmosphere at this year’s awards gala was electric, reflecting the amazing work Wisconsin’s broadcasters did in 2023,” said WBA President and CEO Michelle Vetterkind. “Wisconsin should be proud of the public service provided by local radio and TV stations. They are truly making a difference.”

Photos of the event can be found on the WBA’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Professional photos will be published soon.

The stations below were honored with News Operation of the Year, and Station of the Year awards. These are awarded based on a station’s placement in the single category awards and determined through a point system. The Wisconsin Army National Guard assisted with handing out the Station of the Year Awards.

The 2024 awards will be given out at the Awards Gala on May 3, 2025.
