NYSBA Goes on Tour

Last Friday, we wrapped up our week-long road trip of the state. We gave out Excellence in Broadcasting and Serving New York awards in several upstate markets, recognizing both TV and Radio stations along with public service groups for their outstanding work over the past year. In addition to our awards luncheons, each upstate location featured an insightful two hour sales training session that covered AI, with industry leading broadcast selling experts Gary and Eric Moore from Local Broadcast Sales (LBS).

This year’s competition was intense, as stations and colleges around the state competed against each other with countless impressive entries. A couple weeks back, we began our 2025 awards circuit downstate with New York City and Long Island. This trip, we began in Buffalo and proceeded to visit Rochester, Syracuse, and Binghamton before making our way back home to Albany. We reached over 600 people statewide between training and luncheons. 

We were also honored to be joined by public service groups from around the state who received Serving New York awards in the form of our iconic crystal bowl for exemplary work with stations on community service.

It was a tremendous honor to be joined by New York’s broadcasters and sellers who are so vital to their local communities. Thank you to everyone who attended our fall regional events, and congratulations to all of this year’s award winners!

We will be uploading Serving New York honorees to our website over the next few days.
