Ginny Kennedy of WLRH Public Radio was awarded the Alabama Broadcasters’ Association ABBY Award for Large Market Radio Regularly Scheduled Newscast for her “Tennessee Valley News Update”.

Ginny is a native of Huntsville. She began her radio career as a graduate student in Communications at Georgia State University in Atlanta. An internship at WABE in Atlanta led to a varied career as a classical music host, news anchor, flying traffic reporter, and wacky sidekick on a country station. She has been at WLRH Public Radio in Huntsville for the past 20 years and feels privileged to be part of a station that serves the community. When not working, Ginny enjoys spending time with her many critters including her horse, Alex.

Ginny hosts Morning Edition Monday through Thursday, and also hosts the Friday request edition of Morning Blend. WLRH General Manager Brett Tannehill says of Ginny’s win: “Ginny is truly one of the best broadcasters in Alabama, and maybe the only one who can host both news and classical music at such a high level. She’s a trusted voice in the Tennessee Valley.”
