The Globe wins IBA award
GOSHEN — The Indiana Broadcasters Association named Goshen College’s radio station, WGCS-FM (91.1, The Globe), “Station of the Year” on Nov. 9 at the 26th annual Spectrum Awards in Indianapolis.
As a station within the South Bend (Market Two) radio market, The Globe is judged against the work of all member stations in Market Two (Evansville, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Muncie, South Bend and Terre Haute), regardless of size or FCC licensure.
The other finalists were both commercial radio stations, WMEE in Fort Wayne and WTHI in Terre Haute.
Also this year, Goshen College was named “Radio School of the Year” by the Indiana Association of School Broadcasting and The Globe earned the nation’s top honor of “Best College Radio Station in the Nation” from the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS).
WGCS staff members Benjamin Kelly, a 2013 graduate, won in the “sports” category for his play-by-play analysis and Danielle Kerschhackl, a junior from Elmwood Park, Ill., and Kelsey Morris, a 2013 graduate won in the “mini-documentary or series” category for their segment on the chili cook-off at Goshen First Fridays.
Several other staff members also were finalists in individual categories.
