The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association recognizes outstanding achievement by member Wisconsin radio and television broadcasters every year. All entries must have been “on-air” or published during each calendar year. Award markets are sorted by size, and the contest is judged by radio and television peers from outside the state of Wisconsin. Radio Plus, Inc. radio stations earned several awards in the Medium Market category. WFDL News Director, Greg Stensland, took home first place in the Hard News/Investigative reporting category for his overall coverage of flooding in Fond du Lac County last year.
