The New York State Broadcasters Association wrapped up this year’s regional luncheon circuit last week in Long Island and New York City.
We began in Melville, NY, at Blackstone Steakhouse where we hosted approximately forty people from a variety of stations and public service organizations based on Long Island. The distribution of awards to Long Island radio stations and WVVH-TV was accompanied by a steak lunch and cheesecake. Our famous Crystal Serving NY Bowls were again given out for positive work to several community groups serving Long Island.
We concluded the three-day trip at The Current Restaurant at Chelsea Piers on the west side of Manhattan. The banquet hall had a sublime waterfront view of the Hudson River that was visible from floor-to-ceiling windows on multiple sides of the venue. It was a memorable event that featured award winners giving spirited acceptance speeches from stations around the city. We also had a strong college presence in the room with student representatives from Hofstra and Fordham. Between Excellence in Broadcasting and Serving New York, over thirty awards were given out.
We appreciate everyone who attended the events last week and helped to make them a triumph for both the association and local news.
