THE UMP’S ARKY SHEA WAS HONORED WITH AN AWARD AT THE ALABAMA BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION’S ANNUAL “BEST IN BROADCASTING AWARDS” ON MARCH 25.

ARKY WAS AWARDED THE “SPORTSCASTER JUDGES AWARD OF MERIT.”  UPON RECEIVING THE AWARD, ARKY SAID, “I’D LIKE TO THANK JASON MARKS FOR GIVING ME A SHOT.  I HAVE TO THANK CUMULUS FOR CONTINUING TO BELIEVE IN MY AS A BROADCASTER.  THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO, BUT THEY LET ME DO WHAT I LOVE AND THAT’S NOT AN EASY THING TO ASK OF AN EMPLOYER.  ALSO, TO MY WIFE, KELLY, THANKS TO HER.  SHE TOLD ME TO KEEP GOING WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD TO STOP.  WITHOUT THAT, THERE IS NO THIS.”

ARKY CAN BE HEARD WEEKDAYS FROM 6AM TO 10AM ON “THE COLE CUBELIC SHOW” AND SATURDAY MORNINGS FROM 9AM TO 11AM ON “THE SPORTS FLOOD WITH ARKY SHEA.”  BOTH SHOWS AIR ON SPORTSRADIO 730AM/103.9FM “THE UMP” WUMP.  YOU CAN ALSO STREAM THE STATION AT UMPSPORTS.COM ON VIA THE UMPSPORTS APP.
