Commented WSOU GM MARK MABEN, “BOB, DALTON, FAITH, JOSE and MATT’s achievements are particularly impressive because they were competing not only against other noncommercial broadcasters, but commercial broadcasters as wel. These honors speak to the emphasis WSOU places on pre-professional development and serving the communities we cover.  Our students continue to show that they can produce work equal to that of professional journalists, newscasters, and sportscasters.”
