Cedar Falls Radio Station 93.5 The Mix Wins Another Award

It's always nice to get a little recognition for hard work, says Jim Coloff, of .

Coloff is the station manager and owner of the Cedar Falls radio station. Last Tuesday, The Mix was awarded the 2012 Crystal Award from the National Association of Broadcasters.

The award, given to just 10 stations across the country each year, recognizes a year-round commitment to community service. This is the third time The Mix has won.

"I am pretty proud," said Coloff, who has been with the station for 16 years. "I think it is nice to get feedback from the community that they appreciate the work that you do to support the community."

KCVM has 11 full-time staff people. Teri Lynn, host of "The Drive Home," went to Las Vegas to accept the award at the NAB Radio Show awards luncheon.

"I am so proud to work in local radio and be able to support so many worthy causes in the Cedar Valley," Lynn told KWWL. 

One example of KCVM's work is its commitment to the Magical Mix Kids. Coloff said the station supports the charity, which sends chronically ill children and their families to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
