PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (February 1, 2010) – For the third time in the last four years, the GolfTalk Live radio show has been honored as one of the top golf radio shows in America by the International Network of Golf. At the annual Media Awards presentation by the International Network of Golf during the recent PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, GolfTalk Live received the prestigious Outstanding Achievement Award in the radio category.
GolfTalk Live received similar awards in 2006 and 2007, while being named the No. 1 Golf Radio Show in America in 2008.
In addition, show host Tony Leodora won another Outstanding Achievement Award for Opinion Column in the writing category. His column, “The Cheesesteak Open”, a tongue-in-cheek humorous piece about how Philadelphia should host its own PGA Tour event with sponsorship money coming from the city-wide sale of cheesesteaks, appeared in the GolfStyles Philadelphia magazine and in the Blog section of the radio show website, www.golftalklive.net.
The two awards single out Leodora as the only media member to win an award in two different categories of the ING Media Awards – radio and writing.
“The awards are special because it allows me to share the recognition with all of the talented people who go into making the radio show a success,” commented Leodora. “In a span of four years, the show has grown incredibly in its reach and listener loyalty. We have proven that golf on the radio can be a winner, if presented in the proper format.”
GolfTalk Live airs 52 weeks a year from 7 to 8 a.m. each Saturday on WNTP 990-AM and on www.wntp.com. It also can be heard any time during the week after the show airs, by going to the website, www.golftalklive.net.
