The NAB Crystal Radio Awards are presented annually by the National Association of Broadcasters to American radio stations. The award was established in 1987 to recognize radio stations for year-round commitment to community service.[1]

Finalists for the Crystal Radio Award are selected by a panel of judges representing broadcasting, community service organizations, and public relations firms.[2] Selected from a pool of 50 finalists, 10 stations are selected for the award honoring their efforts to improve the quality of life in their respective communities.[3] The NAB Crystal Radio Award winners are announced during the Radio Luncheon held at the annual NAB Show in Las Vegas.[4] Each year's radio inductee into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame is also honored at this luncheon.

The National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association that promotes the interests of American radio and television stations plus a number of associate and international broadcaster members.[4] Founded in 1922, the NAB represents more than 8,300 terrestrial radio and television stations as well as several major broadcast networks.

NAB Crystal Heritage Award

The NAB Crystal Heritage Award is presented to a station that has won five Crystal Radio Awards, demonstrating a long-term commitment to community service.[16] In 2007, WUSL ("Power 99FM", Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was the first station in history to reach this milestone.[17] WUSL was presented the Crystal Heritage Award at the 2008 Radio Luncheon in April 2008.
