Pebbles Named MBA Broadcaster Of The Year
• The Massachusetts Broadcasters Association (MBA) will hold its 12th annual Sound Bites event on Nov. 16 at the Sheraton Framingham, in Framingham, MA. Sound Bites is the association’s annual event which combines seminars, networking, industry speakers, dinner, entertainment, and awards, along with the annual meeting of the members. The event will be emceed by Jordan Rich, longtime host for WBZ NewsRadio 1030/Boston.
Among the highlights: sales pro Pat Bryson will present “Creating the Bespoke Suit (Campaign)” aimed at radio and television sellers and managers and veteran programmer/consultant Tracy Johnson will conduct a timely seminar on “Mastering The Setup and Storytelling Basics.”
Sound Bites will culminate with the 2023 Sound Bites Awards, where popular market veteran Pebbles is set to be honored as the MBA’s 2023 Broadcaster of the Year — the association’s highest honor, which recognizes an industry leader that displays an outstanding commitment to his/her job and community, while showing an unwavering dedication to the evolution of broadcasting.
Pebbles (left) has been a staple on Boston morning radio since 1988, dating back to the legendary WILD-AM, followed by a lengthy stint on iHeartMedia’s WJMN (JAM’N 94.5), and, for the past decade, she’s been a member of The GetUp Crew on Beasley’s WBQT (Hot 96.9). The two-time Gracie Award winner isn’t just committed to great morning radio — she’s also focused on “:the importance of helping others, and using [her] voice to make a difference.”
Tickets to Sound Bites are $40 for MBA members, $50 for non-members, and can be purchased on the MBA website through Nov. 8.
