Streamline Publishing\u2019s Radio Ink and the NAB are teaming up again for the ceremony, with submissions opening on Monday for the industry\u2019s most prestigious sales honors.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony is set for October 21, the first day of this year\u2019s show, again at the Javits Center.<\/p>\n<p>Named in memory of \u201cRadio Wayne\u201d Cornils, the small-market broadcaster turned NAB and RAB executive, the awards have recognized the sales staff and managers who drive the business side of the industry forward for 34 years now. This will be the second consecutive year the ceremony has opened NAB Show New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring the Radio Wayne Awards back to NAB Show New York for a second year,\u201d said Radio Ink and Radio + Television Business Report President and Publisher Deborah Parenti. \u201cWe appreciate the NAB partnering with us to celebrate the sellers, managers, and support staff who keep this business moving. These stars deserve radio\u2019s biggest stage, and it\u2019s hard to get bigger than Manhattan!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a first for the Radio Waynes, Radio Ink is introducing an award for Support Staff, carving out recognition for the Client Services Managers and Traffic Managers whose work is all-too-commonly unrecognized despite being the steady heartbeat of every sales department.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, as digital revenue pathways for radio expand, this year\u2019s awards will split digital sales recognition into Digital-Only Sales Representative and Digital Sales Manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to once again welcome the Radio Wayne Awards to NAB Show New York,\u201d said NAB EVP of Industry Affairs and Innovation April Carty-Sipp. Radio is built on talented people who create opportunities, build lasting relationships, and help keep local broadcasting strong.
