Lois Double-L Lewis was ecstatic to learn that the Academy of Country Music had named her Major Market Personality of the Year in advance of the 56th annual ACM Awards, airing 8 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
She had an inkling she had won when two boxes arrived from the academy on April 3, but didn t know for sure until she dug into the boxes at the Phoenix Suns game the following Wednesday.
Nine days later, the midday host at KNIX-FM (102.5) still gets emotional talking about how much it means to her to win this honor, her first ACM Award, and how exciting it was to learn a few days later that her team, KNIX, had also won an ACM Award for Major Market Station of the Year.
