The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) presented the 2024 NAB Marconi Radio Awards, a celebration held at the Javits Center during NAB Show New York. The ceremony, presented by Xperi, was hosted by radio and television personality Bobby Bones featuring DJ Scratch as the house DJ for the night.
Established in 1989 and named after inventor and Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi, the NAB Marconi Radio Awards are given to radio stations and outstanding on-air personalities to recognize excellence in radio.
