WMBX‑FM in the Spotlight: 2025 Marconi Finalist for Urban Station of the Year
West Palm Beach, FL – August 7, 2025 — It’s official: WMBX‑FM (X102.3) has earned a coveted spot among the finalists for the 2025 NAB Marconi Radio Awards for Urban Station of the Year. The station joins a prestigious group that includes KMJQ‑FM (Houston, TX), WDZZ‑FM (Flint, MI), WHUR‑FM (Washington, DC), and WVEE‑FM (Atlanta, GA).
Urban radio stations are not just musical outlets—they’re cultural hubs. WMBX has long amplified music, community voices, and local engagement across West Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast.
The NAB Marconi Radio Awards, named for inventor and Nobel laureate Guglielmo Marconi, are among the most esteemed honors in American broadcasting—celebrating outstanding achievement in radio since 1989. Being named a finalist signals that WMBX stands out not just locally, but on a national stage. WMBX finds itself in the company of powerhouse Urban radio stations. This speaks volumes about WMBX’s leadership, programming strength, and connection to its audience.
Although the final outcome will be determined at the awards dinner on October 21, 2025, ahead of NAB Show New York, being a Marconi finalist is already a win worth celebrating!
