Drive Sportin’ A Pair Of Silver Domes
• This week, Hubbard Classic Rock WDRV (97.1 The Drive)/Chicago humbly accepted two Silver Dome Awards from the Illinois Broadcasters Association — The “Best Radio Station Community Service” trophy was presented for The Drive’s “Friday Night Singalong” series in which the City of Chicago partnered with The Drive and lit the downtown Chicago Skyline in red, white and blue during a surge in the pandemic. Thousands of Classic Rock fans took to their porches, patios and balconies every Friday night to sing along with some of the greatest and most inspirational songs of all time.
The second Silver Dome was awarded for The Drive’s Behind The Song podcast series, hosted by Janda Lane. Now entering its fifth year in production, Behind The Song dives deep into the backstories of some of Classic Rock’s most legendary titles.
When accepting the awards, WDRV PD/Brand Manager, Rob Cressman, commented, “We are so very proud to have been considered for this high honor from The Illinois Broadcasters Association. Our team at The Drive is second to none and I’m fortunate to be associated with such a talented group. To see such hard work and perseverance recognized is highly rewarding, and it fuels our collective determination to perpetually strive for excellence in all that we do.”
Cressman added, “Accepting these awards in the midst of the ongoing pandemic furthers our resolve to reach higher heights in spite of the associated obstacles and challenges.”
