The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point student run radio station, 90FM, has advanced to be one of the top 25 radio stations in the running for a mtvU Woodie Award.
The contest started with 100 radio stations, was cut to 50 and is now down to 25. The next cut will be to 5 radio stations, which will be announced on October 26. Station manager Scott Clark was excited about the possibility of attaining the mtvU honor.
“Its really exciting,” said Clark. “It was something we never heard of and it just happened to us. “
90FM is competing against fellow Wisconsin station WSMU from the University of Wisconsin. Also among the top 25 are stations from Vanderbilt, Florida State, Missouri and Southern California. Looking at the list of competitors, it’s safe to say 90FM is representing the smallest school.
“It’s great how much support we’re getting,” said Clark. “If you look at the top 25 schools they’re all bigger schools. We’re one of the smaller ones if not the smallest.”
Students can vote as many times as they want everyday between now and October 26 by going to http://radiowoodie.ratemyprofessor.com/region/midwest.
