NEW YORK — A heritage Active Rock station serving the Delaware Valley cleaned up big at the 2025 Marconi Awards, bringing new accolades to an FM today owned by Beasley Media Group.


The company’s WMMR-FM 93.3 in Philadelphia, acquired by Beasley from Greater Media, was named “Legendary Station of the Year” during a Tuesday evening ceremony at the Edison Ballroom in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan.

With Danielle Monaro and Medha Gandhi, co-hosts of the WHTZ “Z100” in New York-based  “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show” serving as co-hosts of the NAB-presented and Xperi-sponsored award show, WMMR also took the award for “Major Market Personality of the Year” as Preston Elliot and Steve Morrison, the morning hosts, walked away with the honor.

Meanwhile, WMMR was named “Major Market Station of the Year,” giving it three big honors.

Established in 1989 and named for inventor and Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi, the NAB Marconi Radio Awards honor radio stations and on-air personalities demonstrating outstanding achievement and service to their communities.
