The top of the NACC 200 is unusually fluid with our third #1 in as many weeks and a fairly big shake-up in the Top 5 this week. When the dust settled, we had our biggest climb to #1 since May.

Genre DJ of the Month (Jazz) | Gary Walker, WBGO Newark

"Young artists get good exposure here, through performance and coverage on the WBGO website, very creatively handled by former New York Times jazz writer, and author, Nate Chinen."

Genre DJ of the Month | Karen Rakos, KEUL Girdwood, AK

"KEUL is a community radio station completely run by volunteers in the small resort town of Girdwood, Alaska. Founded by Lewis Leonard, KEUL hit the airwaves as a pirate station in 1997. The FCC shut the operation down, but by the summer of 1998, KEUL was fully licensed and back on the air legally."

MD of the Month | Kari Hedlund, KAXE/KBXE Grand Rapids

"KAXE is a community radio station that was the first rural public station in the nation. The CPB wouldn’t fund it right away because they thought they would be ‘broadcasting to a bunch of gophers’. Ha."
