Lakes Region Radio Host Konrad Kayne is Broadcaster of the Year

Television and Radio broadcasters from around New Hampshire gathered in Concord to recognize and celebrate their fellow broadcasters and honor the best of the best in their industry. The Lakes Region made quite the splash this year, with stations and individuals taking home top honors from the 2022 Granite Mike Awards. 

In an awards banquet at the Grappone Conference Center, NHAB leadership honored the member stations for their hard work.  “We are proud to recognize the outstanding work of our broadcasters, and especially excited to see that our awards went out to stations all over our great state,“ said Tracy Caruso, Executive Director of New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters. “The broadcast industry is alive and well here, with huge audiences tuning in each day to hear and see these hard-working folks.  I’m proud to be a part of their efforts.”

It was a year of outstanding performances in challenging conditions.  Zack Derby of WLKZ radio, and WMUR TV’s Sean MacDonald received the radio and television Air Personality of the Year awards.   Frank FM’s Nazzy and Marissa won First Place in the Morning Show Team category. Individuals and stations submitted 140 entries in multiple categories.  The work was judged by the Montana Broadcasters Association. 

NHAB presented the 2022 Broadcaster of the Year award to Konrad Kayne, of Lakes Media group.
