Service matters. Community matters. Local radio matters.

That's why we're thrilled that 95.5 WSB earned the prestigious 2026 NAB Celebration of Service to America Award, recognizing its legendary Care-A-Thon, which raised $2.3 million for the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta last year. This award recognizes not just a station, but a community that shows up year after year to make a profound and lasting difference.

This is what living our mission looks like.

Congratulations to our very own Misti Turnbull for contributing to the summer to remember for CMG. Misti was recently inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) Silver Circle for her impact on local broadcasting, including her focus on innovation and commitment to journalistic excellence. As Misti will tell you, "What really gets me excited is ensuring all CMG newsrooms are consistently providing our viewers high-quality local news and investigative journalism across all platforms.”

Misti's honor follows CMG's 7 NAB Marconi Award nominations, 4 national Edward R. Murrow Awards, 2 Crystal Awards, and 1 Gracie Award. That doesn't include the many regional awards, local honors, and the 10 national awards our Investigative Reporting team won over the last year. And later in September, four of our legendary radio personalities – JoJo O’Neal, Elroy Smith, Lorenzo “Ice Tea” Thomas, and Marc Young – will be inducted into the National Black Radio Hall of Fame.

Congrats to Misti - and all award winners - for embodying CMG's quest to make a tangible and positive difference for our millions of viewers and listeners - every day!

In an industry defined by change – shifting formats, evolving listener habits, digital transformation -- Rob Babin has become a fixed frequency on Radio Ink’s Top 40 Most Powerful People in Radio list. After five consecutive years on the list, this isn’t just a streak … it’s a statement. Since 2021, Rob (president of CMG Radio) and his team have stayed relevant by creating industry-leading content, generating revenue growth for clients, leading impactful community engagements, and fostering a culture of collaboration and strong ex*****on. In the process, they’ve achieved rare consistency and constancy amidst the industry evolution. To be recognized once is an honor … to be named five times is about re-setting the standard for what influence and impact sounds like, behind the mic and beyond.

Another week, another national award for CMG's Investigative Reporting team ... this one from the National Press Foundation. CMG and KFF Health News earned this national recognition for “Social Security’s Secret,” a news special showing how a dozen reporters from across all of CMG’s TV stations and KFF Health News worked together to expose the real-world impacts of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) overpayment clawbacks. It featured personal stories of more than three dozen people to highlight how burdensome the SSA’s clawbacks had become for thousands of benefit recipients. “Social Security’s Secret” aired in all of CMG’s TV markets and on its streaming platforms.
