ADRIAN - The National Association of Broadcasters has announced that 103.9 FM WLEN radio is one of 40 national finalists for a broadcasting award and the only radio station in Michigan to be considered for the honor.

Since 1987, the association's Crystal Radio Awards have recognized radio stations for their year-round community service efforts. Finalists will be honored and 10 awards will be given April 24 in Las Vegas.

WLEN was an award winner in 1998. In 2000, the staff donated more than $322,000 to nonprofit and other community organizations, owner and general manger Julie Koehn said.
