For the third year in a row, the Alabama AP honored WBHM with the most awards of any radio station in the state. The WBHM news team took top honors in the Public Affairs/Documentary division with Considering Faith, a week-long series and call-in program exploring expressions of faith and non-faith and how various religions co-exist in Alabama. Contributors to the series included News Director Tanya Ott, Morning Edition Host Andrew Yeager, freelancers Les Lovoy, Gigi Douban and Donna Francavilla, commentators Dan Carsen and Marie Sutton, and Program Director Michael Krall.
