Entercom’s Cherri Gregg Honored
• Entercom congratulates Cherri Gregg, Community Affairs Reporter at KYW-AM (Newsradio 1060)/Philadelphia on her recent recognition by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) with the “Salute to Excellence Award” presented during the 2018 NABJ Salute to Excellence Gala in Detroit. Ms. Gregg was honored in the category of “Public Affairs, Top 15 Markets, Radio” for a segment from her weekly program Flashpoint, titled “Police Transparency — When Should Names of Officers Who Kill Be Released?”
“It comes as no surprise that Cherri has been recognized once again for the exemplary work she contributes to KYW,” said David Yadgaroff, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Philadelphia. “The hard work she has committed to Flashpoint in less than a year demonstrates why she is deserving of this honor.”
This marks the second consecutive year Gregg has been recognized by the organization — last year NABJ honored Gregg for her piece, “Driving While Black,” a collaboration between Entercom and CBS3-TV. “I am honored and humbled by this great recognition,” said Gregg, a licensed attorney who previously served as President of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists from 2015 to 2016 and Vice President of Broadcast in 2013. “Flashpoint was designed to inform our listeners of impactful issues relevant to Philadelphia, and this acknowledgement validates the importance of creating conversation around social issues.” Flashpoint airs on KYW Saturdays at 9:30pm ET and Sundays at 8:30am ET.
