More than 2,000 radio shows from across the country submitted for the award. "I mean, we never thought we had a chance at this," explains Officer Don Evans, "we submitted thinking 'why not?' and then to find out we are a top five finalist? Wow. So rewarding and so awesome."

The awards ceremony is on November 1st in Nashville.
