Paul Gleiser
2026 Radio Broadcaster of the Year
(Published August 2026)
The criteria for this award is described as follows: “…an individual who has made a commitment to excellence over the past 12 months and is an example to others in broadcasting.”
No one works at Paul Gleiser’s stations for long before recognizing that he is the very embodiment of that statement.
His commitment to excellence comes from his very core and from a lifelong love for Radio.
He is truly passionate about it.
Paul sets very high standards for what goes on the air, how the stations serve their listeners, the East Texas community and their advertisers.
He expects the very highest level of on-air execution – especially when it comes to news coverage.
Paul knows that news coverage must be accurate and fair. And that commitment was recognized earlier this year at the Texas Broadcast News Awards with Paul’s stations being named Texas Other Market Station of the Year.
Beyond that, Paul is passionate about bringing fresh faces to the Radio industry.
Two of their very best fulltime news anchors came to the stations via the internship program that they offer to area college students.
He has served several terms on the TAB Board of Directors – and his fellow broadcasters nominated him to serve as Chairman in 2023.
Always willing to help, Paul has served on multiple non-profit boards in East Texas and is never hesitant to donate on-air time to local groups, promote events and raise funds.
He is the definition of a live and local Texas broadcaster.
