Radio magazine announces the NAB Pick Hit Winners

We're pleased to announce the winners of the 2008 NAB Pick Hit Awards. The Pick Hit Awards are the original technology award presented at the NAB convention. First awarded in 1985, the awards recognize innovation in product development with an eye to meeting the practical needs for radio. The winners are selected by a panel of radio professionals who work independently and anonymously to find the top new products introduced at the convention.

Take a final look at NAB2008

NAB may be over, but Radio magazine's show coverage isn't. Readers will rely on the June issue to recap the new technology displayed at the show, and those who couldn't attend will want to gain insight on what they missed.

Plus, we'll announce our Pick Hit Award winners for best new products shown at NAB in the June issue.

Make sure you have a solid presence in Radio magazine's June issue. It's a great lead-in to the summer season in the radio industry.
