Beasley Media Group's 101 WRIF is named the "Best Local Radio Station" by The Detroit Free Press as part of the "Best of the Best Detroit 2021" Awards. The station was nominated in January, 2022 as part of their "Best of the Best 2021" Media Category. The field featured five nominees that were narrowed down to the top three, and then ultimately the winner. With over 93,000 votes counted, 101 WRIF took the title.
The announcement was made during the Best of the Best Detroit Gala that was held at the Dearborn Inn on April 28. WRIF PD/midday host Jade Springart was on hand at the event to accept the award on behalf of 101 WRIF. Following the announcement of the winners, The Detroit Free Press published a celebratory "Best of the Best" section in the Sunday edition of the paper on May 1.
