2010 Broadcast Education Association Awards

Students at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh received three national first place awards given out by the Broadcast Education Association as part of their Festival of Media Arts.  The awards for student productions will be given out at the organization’s annual convention to be held in Las Vegas in April.

UW Oshkosh placed first in two of the script categories.  Kayde Fisher won in the short subject category for her script “Crimson Shadows,” which will be produced by the UW Oshkosh Film Society in the spring.   Jared A. Robinson was first in the category for television spec scripts.  He penned an episode called “Outbreak” for the TV series “The Office.”

In the radio play by play category, Bryan Scholz, Tyler Thrune and Christopher Mueller took first place for a call of the women’s volleyball tournament semifinal with the Titans facing UW-Eau Claire.  Scholz was play-by-play announcer for the broadcast and was an intern last summer with WTMJ-AM/Milwaukee and the Brewers Radio Network.  Thrune was color commentator and is currently WRST’s sports director.  Mueller produced the broadcast and is currently interning with the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team.
