Denver, CO — Last night, Oct 25, the Marconi Radio Awards recognized several stations for their outstanding performances in broadcasting. 98.5 KYGO took home the “Country Station of the Year” award at the event dubbed, “Radios Biggest Night”.

Not only was 98.5 KYGO there to represent Country Music Stations, the station represented Colorado Radio as the only centennial state winners. The award is heavily attributed to how the station reaches and serves its audience as well as its commitment to the community.
