Corpus Christi, TX – Local non-commercial FM broadcast station KLUX-HD, has been selected as a recipient of the National Gabriel Award for “Religious Radio Station of the Year”. The award is given for a station’s ability to uplift and enrich the human spirit with its total programming and community service. The Gabriel Awards, now in its 52nd year, recognizes outstanding messengers of God’s Good News in our media culture.
Entrants go through a highly selective process of preliminary screening and blue ribbon judging. Blue ribbon juries only present an award in a particular category when a level of excellence is achieved in values, content, creativity, artistic quality, technical quality and impact.
KLUX is in some very good company with other winners such as ABC News, NBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Company, New York Public Radio and the Eternal Word Television Network. The 51st annual Gabriel Awards Presentation took place at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark on Thursday, June 2, 2016.
