iHEARTMEDIA Country stations WBWL (101.7 THE BULL/BOSTON and WTBU (95.3 THE BULL)/PORTSMOUTH, NH were recently jointly named the 2019 Country Cares Radio Station of the Year by ST JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL during an event in MEMPHIS last week. Since 2016, the two stations have simulcast their Country Cares for ST. JUDE Kids radiothon, reaching hundreds of thousands of NEW ENGLAND listeners. Their three-year cumulative total of money raised for ST. JUDE tops $1 million. Last year, WBWL hosted an “Intimate Evening with LADY ANTEBELLUM” show to benefit ST. JUDE. The station’s on-air personalities also hosted “Toast to ST. JUDE,” a young professionals gala, and the “ST. JUDE Walk/Run BOSTON” event.

“Receiving this award is a credit to our great teams in BOSTON and PORTSMOUTH,” said DYLAN SPRAGUE, VP/Programming for iHEARTMEDIA’s BOSTON region. “The funds raised are a true testament to the dedicated listeners and our on-air team who make the ST. JUDE mission so relevant to the BOSTON and PORTSMOUTH communities.”

“ST. JUDE partners with over 350 radio stations throughout the year and is proud to honor THE BULL,” said JENN POTTER, Regional Development Dir. for St. Jude. “They are the true definition of incredible partners and are always trying to do more for the kids of ST. JUDE to ensure families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about his helping their child live.”
