CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – On Tuesday, March 12, the City Council recognized several citizens with the Virginia Martin-Hatcher Star Service Award, including 5 Star Media Group’s very own Lee Erwin.
Erwin was recognized on his 50th year in radio broadcasting, with 45 of those years in Clarksville. He currently reports morning news and traffic on 5 Star’s top stations, including Q108, Beaver 100.3, Rewind 94.3 and Z97.5. He also hosts a weekend show on Rewind and helps with reporting and photos for Clarksville Now.
Councilperson Wanda Smith, the daughter of Hatcher, said Erwin was also being given the award for his work with the Salvation Army, United Way, Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarksville and more.
“He is still reporting important news that we can use,” Smith said.
