The Missouri Broadcasters Association (MBA) Awards provide prestigious recognition to those members that set a consistently high standard for success within the industry.

“We not only recognize the tremendous talent in our Missouri radio and television markets today, but also the lifetime achievements of our three Hall of Fame inductees,” MBA’s Director of Member Services Terry Harper stated in a release.

Zimmer received six awards – including four first-place trophies – during the awards banquet, held June 8 at the Branson Hilton Convention Center. There were 329 broadcasters and guests in attendance at the banquet, which was part of the MBA annual convention.

Bolstering the Broadcasting Industry

The Missouri Broadcasters Association’s mission is to promote the success and prosperity of Missouri’s broadcasters and the survival of the broadcasting industry.
