Syndicated radio personality Delilah will be honored with the Insight Award by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation (LABF) during the NAB Show Welcome on April 7 in Las Vegas. This recognition marks her trailblazing contributions to broadcasting and her profound influence on listeners across the nation.

The Insight Award, bestowed annually by the LABF, celebrates outstanding artistic or journalistic achievements that enhance public understanding of media's role and impact in society. Previous recipients of this prestigious accolade include LeVar Burton, CBS News' "60 Minutes," and Soledad O'Brien.

Delilah, known affectionately as "radio's Oprah," has become the most-listened-to woman on radio in the U.S. Her program, syndicated by Premiere Networks, reaches over eight million listeners weekly on roughly 160 stations nationwide. Celebrating over 50 years in radio, Delilah has crafted a unique format since 1984, offering a mix of inspiring stories, song dedications, and heartfelt advice. Her approach has not only comforted but also connected deeply with her audience, earning her numerous accolades.

Among her achievements, Delilah was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2016 and received the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Broadcast Hall of Fame induction in 2017-the first woman to achieve this honor in 35 years. She also won the Marconi Award for "Network/Syndicated Personality of the Year" in 2016 and was honored at the Alliance of Women in Media's 37th Annual Gracie Awards Gala in 2023.

April Carty-Sipp, Executive Vice President of NAB Industry Affairs, commented on the award, "Delilah's impact on broadcasting is undeniable, and her recognition with the Insight Award reflects the excellence and innovation celebrated at NAB Show."

LABF Co-Chairs Heidi Raphael and Jack Goodman also praised Delilah's unique connection with her audience and her passionate storytelling. "Delilah's extraordinary ability to connect with listeners and her unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of others exemplify the essence of the Insight Award," they said.

Delilah is set to accept the award on stage at the NAB Show, joining the ranks of distinguished media figures who have previously been honored.
