Communities

Bonneville International has a long tradition and well-documented history of award-winning commitment to the communities we serve. In 2008, we gave more than $75 million worth of donated air time and community service for:
  • public affairs programs
  • public service programming
  • special on-air and community projects
  • local and national public service announcement campaigns
  • cash and in-kind donations
  • more than 23,500 hours of employee volunteer service
We feel the results are quite remarkable: Owning less than one-fifth of 1 percent of the commercial radio stations in the U.S., we nonetheless have won more than 15 percent of all Crystal Radio Awards - the highest award presented by the National Association of Broadcasters for outstanding community service - presented over the past decade and a half! Our Bonneville stations' impressive total of 25 Crystal Awards during that period is ample testimony to our day-in, day-out commitment to our friends and neighbors.
