Smooth Jazz Network announced today via their online Beats Magazine, that the UNLV based public station beat out Jazz 101/Atlanta, WNOZ/New Orleans, WSBZ/Santa Rosa and WSI/ St Louis in an open to the public online vote held at the SJN website.

Operations Manager Jason Beatty was elated to hear the news, "...and we did it without playing a single song by Kenny G."

"Thanks to my Music Director Kim Linzy for getting us to the party and thanks to our colleagues, listeners, alumni, friends and family around the world for voting for us."

KUNV is coming off of a successful fall membership drive and is in the process of launching an Endowment to ensure continued operational funding into the future.

General Manager Dr. Ashton Ridley shared, "Everyday we actively engage in our mission to teach, inspire and connect with our students and community. It's truly an honor to win this recognition against these other fantastic stations." Public Radio KUNV broadcasts from UNLV and is owned by the State of Nevada Regents Board.
