Students of KVSC 88.1FM brought home 16 Associated Press awards at the conclusion of the Midwest Journalism Conference in Bloomington, Minn. April 8-9. Included in the awards are “Best in Show” for Kevin Hurd’s feature news story “Bachmann-Palin Rally” and a complete sweep in the sports categories.

“It is a testament to our entire Sports Department and our hardworking staff to sweep the 2010 AP Awards,” Sports Director Zack Fisch said. “We have so many talented broadcasters and to have many of them honored is well deserved.”

KVSC provides St. Cloud State University students with the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to live broadcasts and feature stories. “The real-life experience KVSC has given me and our entire sports staff is second to none,” Fisch said. “KVSC gives all of us a chance to get behind the mic of high profile NCAA events as students.”
