The National Association of Broadcasters announced today that local radio and TV stations across America have donated airtime valued at over $26.4 million for NAB's "OK2Talk" mental health public service announcement campaign. This includes more than 231,050 TV and radio airings.

NAB will accept entries for the 2014 NAB Crystal Radio Awards, honoring outstanding community service, beginning January 1, 2014. Established in 1987, the Crystal Radio Awards bring national recognition to radio stations for their year-round commitment to serving their communities. To enter, a station must submit their online entry describing their community service efforts for the 2013 calendar year.
