Last week college radio DJs were convening on both coasts for annual student radio gatherings. College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) held its annual National Student Electronic Media Convention<\/a> in Seattle (October 23-25) and CMJ’s Music Marathon<\/a> took place in New York City (October 21-25). Each event had corresponding awards ceremonies which honored excellence in student broadcasting.<\/p>\n

CMJ Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

CMJ’s 2014 College Radio Awards<\/a> were announced last Thursday during College Day at the CMJ Music Marathon. Convention attendees did the voting, which was out of a field of finalists that were culled from stations and individuals who were nominated by CMJ subscribers. The station with the most awards this year is University of Minnesota station KUOM<\/a> (aka Radio K), with three awards. Boston University station WTBU<\/a> (see my recent field trip post<\/a>) took home two awards, including Station of the Year (for the third year in a row).<\/p>\n
