Typically a lifetime achievement award is handed out at the end of someone's career. Jeff Smulyan would probably argue that a new phase at Emmis, under his leadership is about to begin. The Indiana Broadcasters Association will bestow upon Smulyan its lifetime achievement award at a dinner this October. President & CEO of the IBA Linda Compton says ?Jeff represents the very best that the Indiana Broadcast industry has to offer. ?We are delighted to recognize his unflagging passion for our industry through this lifetime achievement honor.? While not at the end of his career it was 31 years ago next month that Smulyan's Emmis broadcasting put WIBC on the air in Indianapolis.
The award, created in 2006, recognizes individuals for especially meritorious service, contributions to or achievements in the field of broadcasting in Indiana over the course of a career. This is the Indiana Broadcasters Association highest honor and is presented to an Indiana broadcaster whose work is unusually beneficial and of superior value to their community and to the Association. The award ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Indiana Broadcasters Association and Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame event, to be held Thursday, October 6, 2011 at The Fountains, Carmel, Indiana.
