The Radio magazine Advancement in Radio Technology Awards were created to recognize the best available products introduced over the last year with a practical use in radio broadcasting facilities (including terrestrial, Internet and satellite).

Nominations were accepted from readers like you, Radio magazine contributors and manufacturers, and then placed into one of 13 categories. During August, we asked you to vote for your top pick in each category. The results were tallied in early September, and the winners were announced at a reception held at the NAB Radio Show in Austin, TX.
