WBZ/Boston Wins Two Regional Murrow Awards


iHeartMedia Boston announced today that WBZ NewsRadio, Boston's News Radio, has won two Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards in the categories of Best Newscast and Continuing Coverage.

WBZ NewsRadio will celebrate its 100th anniversary later this year, and these awards are the latest in the trophy case of a legendary cornerstone of the Boston media landscape. Past wins of Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for excellence in journalism include Overall Excellence, Best Newscast, Excellence in Social Media, and Excellence in Writing. In 2016, WBZ also won the National Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Newscast.

"It's gratifying that in our 100th year of public service to New England and, inarguably, one of the most difficult of those years to cover local news, WBZ NewsRadio remains relevant in people's lives," said Rob Sanchez, Vice President of News, Talk & Sports, for iHeartMedia Boston.
