Barrett Sports Media Establishes 'Tony Bruno Award'

Bruno

The second of four new awards to be bestowed at BARRETT SPORTS MEDIA SUMMIT in LOS ANGELES this FEBRUARY has been named after veteran national and PHILADELPHIA sports talk host TONY BRUNO. The TONY BRUNO Award, BSM President JASON BARRETT said, will go to "a current member of the sports radio industry who is unique, unafraid, and cutting thru on a national level," reflecting BRUNO's career at WIP and WPEN/PHILADELPHIA, ESPN RADIO, FOX SPORTS RADIO, and SPORTING NEWS RADIO and his online work.

"From coast to coast throughout his career, Tony Bruno has delivered," said BARRETT. "Perhaps even more impressive though than TONY's contributions to ESPN RADIO, FOX SPORTS RADIO, SPORTING NEWS RADIO, WIP and 97.5 THE FANATIC is his track record for helping to elevate new voices. MIKE GOLIC, HARRY MAYES, MARK WILLARD, and ANDREW SICILIANO are just some of the people who've shared a studio with TONY and professionally benefited." Using one of BRUNO's signature phrases, BARRETT added, "To not recognize this man for what he's meant to the sports radio business for nearly thirty years would be an outrage."

BRUNO said, "I've been blessed to be a part of the top sports operations in AMERICA -- working with some of the greatest talents in the industry -- and am honored to have the privilege of an award in my name to honor those who continue to make sports radio an important part of everyday life for millions. I look forward to seeing JASON and everyone in attendance this FEBRUARY in LOS ANGELES."

The SUMMIT is scheduled for FEBRUARY 21-22 at the CLIVE DAVIS THEATER at the GRAMMY MUSEUM in L.A. An award named after EMMIS CEO JEFF SMULYAN was announced last month. Find out more and register at sportsradiopd.com.
