WJBR Nominated For Prestigious Marconi Award
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is a trade association and lobby group that represents the interests of commercial and non-commercial over-the-air radio and television broadcasters in the United States.
In 1989 the NAB named a new yearly award after inventor of radio and Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi. Each year the NAB Marconi Radio Awards are given to radio stations and outstanding on-air personalities to recognize excellence in radio.
WJBR is proud to announce that on the heels of just winning the NAB’s Service To America Award for outstanding public service, WJBR has also been nominated to receive a Marconi Award. This is radio’s “Oscar”! And we are very proud and excited to be nominated.

Locals Say These Are The Top 10 New Jersey Maryland and Delaware Area Beaches
We’re mid summer of 2023 and we’ve been spending a lot of time down at the Delaware area beaches this year.
Probably like you, I’m a big fan of our regions beaches! I grew up at the New Jersey shore and spent many years hitting all the beach towns of Atlantic and Cape May County. Since those days I’ve added the Delaware beaches and the beaches of Maryland to our families list of regular visits.
When my kids were young, we were day trippers to Strathmere NJ, one of the few free beaches in the Garden State. We also took too many to count family camping trips to Assateague Island National Seashore just south of Ocean City MD.
Now that my wife and I are empty nesters, we enjoy the Delaware beaches. We are looking forward to enjoying time in Lewes, Cape Henlopen, Rehoboth and Dewey this summer!
I wanted to know what beaches YOU (our WJBR listeners) love! So, I put the question up on our Facebook page asking for your favorite beaches in our WJBR listening area of Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland.
