AM 1260 The Rock, WCCR Cleveland, received two awards from the Eternal Word
Television Network (EWTN) at the network’s annual Catholic Radio Conference held in
Phoenix September 29th and 30th.
The conference was a gathering of EWTN radio affiliates from throughout the United
States and is the first in-person conference held since 2019.
