Two recent national competitions honored the media work of radio TV film students at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
The College Media Association gave out its Pinnacle Awards at its annual convention in Louisville on Oct. 27. UWO radio station WRST took first place as the Four Year Radio Station of the Year. WRST also took first place honors in this category in 2012 and came in second in the competition in 2015. WRST has won eight CMA Pinnacle awards since 2012, including first place honors for Best College Radio Newscast last year.
At its annual convention in Seattle, the group College Broadcasters, Inc. honored UWO’s Titan TV with two awards in its National Student Production Awards competition. In the category for Best Entertainment Program/Video, the program History Oshkosh took second place. It was produced by students Eric Royce, Crystal Perez and Samuel Murphy.
In the category for Best Special Broadcast/Video, the holiday offering Cole and Claudia’s Christmas Special took third place. Shot in black and white, the program was an homage to the holiday TV specials of the 1950s and ‘60s. It was produced by students Cole Boettcher, Claudia Blair, Tess Kraly and Alex Wright.
With these honors, Titan TV has won 18 CBI awards since joining the organization in 2010.
