The Rosalie Award Betty Selin to Receive Major National Award

2/15/2013 105.7 SUNFM:
Co-host of the 105.7 Sun FM Morning Show Betty Selin will receive “The Rosalie Award” during Canadian Music Week, celebrated in Toronto from March 19-24, 2013. The Rosalie Award is given annually to a Canadian broadcaster  who is considered a Trailbreaker among women in the radio broadcasting industry. Vice-President and General Manager of Astral’s BC Interior  operations, Don Shafer, said, “Betty is a genuine trailblazer”,  adding, “We can’t be more pleased to see Betty take the national stage at Canadian Music Week and see her work and  career recognized across Canada.” Sun FM General Manager Gord Leighton said, “Long before it  was commonplace for women to take a leadership role in  broadcasting, Betty Selin was on the air as a news anchor,  reporter and broadcast manager”. The award is named after Rosalie Trombley, who was music  director of a Top 40 powerhouse CKLW - also known as "The  Big 8" – in Windsor. Her influence altered the direction of CKLW and led to an annual award named after her. She was  the subject of the song 'Rosalie' by Detroiter Bob Seger. Betty Selin is a seasoned, award winning professional journalist  and broadcaster of 33-years. She is also a Mother, Wife,  Grandmother and community volunteer. (more)
