KNIA/KRLS Radio was once again recognized among the best radio stations in Iowa at the Iowa Broadcast News Association annual awards and convention, this year held locally at the Pella Opera House Saturday.

The station earned first place honors for best in the state coverage of local sports, severe weather, and in depth series. Additional honors were received for Football Friday Night Coverage, breaking news, and coverage of the 2019 floods.

KNIA/KRLS Radio General Manager Jim Butler says the statewide recognition reflects the stations’ continued commitment to local news, sports, and weather coverage in Pella, Knoxville, Indianola, and the rest of South Central Iowa.
