The National Association of Broadcasters has announced the finalists in their 2020 Service to America awards and Gray TV is a lock for at least one win, and possibly more.
The awards, which are for outstanding community service by local broadcasters, were to have been handed out at a June 9 dinner in Washington but will now handed out via a prerecorded tribute that stations can air sometime in August.
Gray TV has the most nominees with six, including all three nominees in the small market TV category, hence the lock on at least one award.
