WKDZ earned the nation’s top broadcasting honor, the NAB Crystal Award in 2012, for community service. We pride ourselves on being the only radio station in Kentucky and one of only ten in the nation to earn this coveted award.

Station-sponsored community events such as Cadiz Rotary Radio Auction, Trigg County Country Ham Festival, and Pink Out offer exceptional marketing opportunities for you to build your brand.

Cadiz Rotary Radio Auction – Raises the highest per capita revenue for any Rotary event worldwide. The Cadiz Rotary Radio Auction is broadcast live on WKDZ and wkdzradio.com in April of each year.

Donations were accepted through the night and presented to Kelly Martin, Director of Pennyroyal Hospice. Country Artist Blane Howard performed with a new rising star, Queeva.  Local artist Cassie Knight opened up the show and got the celebration started.

Trigg County Country Ham Festival – Voted Top 10 Festival in the South numerous times, the Trigg County Country Ham Festival and WKDZ have proven to be perfect partners. WKDZ broadcasts wall to wall coverage of the festival during the first full weekend of October. Various sponsorships are available for coverage of Trigg County’s single largest community event.


Pink Out – WKDZ/WHVO’s breast cancer awareness event, Pink Out, began in 2010 as an awareness event for women to be reminded about the importance of testing and also as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Christian and Trigg County.
