ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 28, 2011) – For the second time in the last four years, the GolfTalk Live radio show has been honored as the Best Golf Radio Show in America by the International Network of Golf. At the annual Media Awards presentation by the International Network of Golf during the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, GolfTalk Live received the top award in the radio category.
GolfTalk Live, hosted by Tony Leodora, received the same award in 2008, while also receiving Outstanding Achievement Awards in the same category in 2010 and 2007.
In addition the Inside Golf television show, of which Leodora plays integral roles as a regular contributor to the show as well as serving as its Marketing and Public Relations Director, also was named the No. 1 golf television show in America.
The two first-place awards single out Leodora as the only media member to win an award in two different categories of the ING Media Awards – radio and television.
“The awards are special because they allow 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 five 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.”
The growth of GolfTalk Live — both in its regular Saturday morning time slot and through its podcast of the show and the extremely popular GolfTalk Minute weekly commentaries on the website, www.golftalklive.net, has been remarkable.
“Our audience keeps growing at an incredible pace”, reported Leodora. “No matter where I go, within the golf community, people want to stop me and talk about the radio show, our live remote locations and the many stories we post on the website Blog. And I don’t mind it a bit, because that’s what we do best – talk about golf.”
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.
