Named Dallas/Ft. Worth “Manager of the Year” by AWRT in 1994, Savage was also nominated two additional years. He has served as president of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Association of Radio Managers, during which time the organization created the “Amber Plan,” the missing children alert program now used nationwide.
