That’s quite an accomplishment. Way to go!
I’ll have to give 90.1 a listen today.

I still think it was kind of rigged because so many people at MTV worked music at more sophisticated studios.
Take www.wers.org/ for example. Gets named the best in a larger city almost annually, has a famous live studio fundraiser, and was the first to go HD.
I wonder if they had to say that schools with higher-up execs at MTV weren’t elgibible?
Still, congrats.

My niece Rachel who is a sophomore at UPS just emailed me (in Colorado) the good news. I was on air in the early 70s. When I was on campus visiting last March I stopped by the station and saw how things had changed. I even autographed a picture of a group of us from those days. It sure brought back a lot of memories. Congrats to all involved with the win. Keep up the tradition.
