Cannon Aims To Host Marconi Awards
• Radio & TV personality and media mogul Nick Cannon will host the 2022 Marconi Radio Awards Dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 19 during NAB Show New York. Grammy-nominated record producer and radio host DJ Scratch will provide live music during the ceremony, which returns in-person after a two-year hiatus.
Cannon currently serves as Executive Producer and host of the nationally syndicated Nick Cannon Radio, and Cannon’s Top 30 Weekend Countdown. He’s also Executive Producer and host of FOX’s The Masked Singer.
DJ Scratch co-hosts a weekday radio show with Shelley Wade on Audacy Classic Hip Hop WXBK (94.7 The Block)/New York, where Cannon also does middays. Scratch has produced 19 albums that have been certified Gold, seven certified Platinum, and is a three-time Grammy Award nominee.
“NAB is excited to be joined by the talented Nick Cannon and DJ Scratch to honor the on-air voices and local stations that have shined brightest over the past year as we return to an in-person Marconi Radio Awards,” said April Carty-Sipp, NAB EVP of Industry Affairs. “We look forward to welcoming the broadcast community to this crowd-pleasing and lively celebration of the best in radio.”
As was previously reported, Ryan Seacrest will be presented with the NAB Distinguished Service Award, and Paul & Fred Jacobs will receive the National Radio Award during the Marconi festivities. The finalists for this year’s NAB Marconi Radio Awards can be found here.
