KALA Radio and SAUtv Earn Top Broadcasting Awards


05/13/2022

With awards season in full swing for college radio and television broadcasting programs, both KALA Radio and SAUtv brought home multiple awards and student honors.

As part of the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association's Eric Sevareid Awards, St. 竞技宝app下载安装 senior Logen Howell won first place in the "Student Market Radio Sportscast/Special" category for "Move the Chains: Week 2."

“这意味着很多,”豪厄尔说. "To see the university compete against big schools such as the University of Iowa and be successful is awesome. The work being done here by students is great and it is nice to see several people recognized for that hard work."

KALA Radio also won first place honors in two other categories. The station won first place in the "Small Market Radio Documentary/Special" category for "Bix at 50" and in the "Small Market Radio Talk/Public Affairs" category for "Relevant or Irrelevant - #416 Long Grove Bank Robbery of 1921."

"The various awards we received this year are an affirmation of my goal of serving the public with quality programming, 履行公共服务, while providing a vocational hands-on, 'real-world' experience for SAU students,大卫·贝克说, KALA总经理.

Students were also recognized by the Iowa Broadcast 新闻 Association. Howell earned first place for his football play-by-play compilation in student radio and junior 大卫·迈耶 was elected as a student representative on the Iowa Broadcast 新闻 Association board. Meyer says he's looking forward to bringing a youthful perspective to the board and credits his experience at St. 竞技宝app下载安装感谢这次机会. "[I]n the radio and TV program there is opportunity right away. When I was a freshman I was able to help with the TV broadcasts, and call football games on the radio from the get go."

Freshman 塞拉玛丽 was awarded the $1,000 Grant Price Scholarship.

"This award means a lot to me because my hard work is finally paying off," Mari said. "Sometimes I feel like I do not see the effects of my hard work pay off instantly, but opportunities like this remind me of the patience and determination I need in order to see the true benefits of my work."

To continue this tradition of success in both KALA Radio and SAUtv, work has already begun to compile student submissions for next year's awards.

"I am proud of our students' honors," Baker said. "Competition in the media field is pretty tough, and for our student work to receive positive acknowledgment from our peers in the industry means a great deal."
