C., Joe Paulo); WPOZ (Orlando, Fla., Jim Hoge); and WCVO (Columbus, Ohio, Dan Baughman)

Small Market - KKJM (St. Cloud, Minn.
, Deb Huschle); KGCB (Flagstaff, Ariz., Steve White); and KSWP (Lufkin, Texas, Dwyan Calvert)
From the finalists, a winner will be selected by a panel of judges involved with the GMA. They will rate the stations in four categories: community involvement, ratings, air-check and industry leadership.
