Each year the Philadelphia AIR Awards Board of Governors honors an outstanding Philadelphia radio professional with its Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing an individual whose work, career and service to the community set a lasting standard of broadcast excellence. The honoree is chosen from nominations submitted by area broadcast and advertising professionals. At the November 1, 2007 AIR Awards luncheon the award went to WMGK's John DeBella.
