WIUX GARNERS MULTIPLE IBS NOMINATIONS
Student radio well-recognized by Intercollegiate Broadcasting System
We are proud to announce that WIUX received multiple nominations in this years’ annual Intercollegiate
Broadcasting System (IBS) Awards.
Each year, the IBS Awards aim to recognize outstanding high school and college radio and television sta-
tions across the country. The awards run the gamut from “Best Station ID” all the way up to “Best Overall
Station”.
This year, WIUX received nominations in 13 different categories. The awards are as follows:
• Best News Interview: Chelsea Barras for Michael Uslan Interview
• Best Sports Play-By-Play (Basketball): Indiana vs. Purdue (Sam Rumpza & Kevin Hyland)
• Best Liner: Sarah Thompson & Tori Miner
• Best Station ID: Collin Thomas
• Best Station ID: Sarah Thompson & Tori Miner
• Best Live Music Broadcast: Patchwork
• Most Innovative Program: B-Side Tonight with Nick Riveria, Michael McReynolds, & Alec Steinmetz
• Best Underwriting Campaign: Bicycle Garage Spot (Xander Harty)
• Best Website: WIUX.org
Additionally, several of our board members have been recognized individually.
WIUX took home the award for Best News Interview at last years’ awards for the interview with comedy
troupe Whitest Kids U’ Know, conducted by former WIUX News Director Christina Bernardin and Morgan
Wooderson.
WIUX is honored to have been nominated alongside so many other quality programs. We hope to add some
hardware to our new station house in the near future.
The IBS Awards will be held March 7 during the 75th annual IBS International Conference in New York City
(March 6-8).
