Cumulus Media's WJR (NewsTalk 760 AM) Detroit was honored as Radio Station of the Year at the Michigan Association of Broadcasters (MAB) Broadcast Excellence Awards on Wednesday, March 6, at the Lansing Center in Lansing, MI. This marks the third time in four years that WJR has been recognized as the Michigan Association of Broadcasters' Station of the Year.
