WMSC Up For A Dozen Awards
• The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) has nominated 90.3 WMSC, “The Voice of Montclair State University,” for 12 National Broadcasting awards. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, the station continues its legacy of national recognition, including 10 nominations by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System last year and a 2019 Marconi nomination for “Best College Radio Station of the Year.”
“I’m thrilled to see Montclair State students being recognized at a national level for their extraordinary work at the campus radio station,” says Anabella Poland, WMSC General Manager.
Two students from WMSC have also received national recognition — Josh Tirado is a finalist for Best Program Director, and Kaya Maciac is a finalist for Best Business Director/ Office Manager. Tirado (left) is a senior at Montclair State University studying Television and Digital Media, and is currently the Station Manager of WMSC. Maciac (right) is a junior studying Communication and Media Arts. She is currently the Program Director of WMSC, and is slated to fill the role of Station Manager in her senior year.
“This dynamic duo joined WMSC in their freshman year and have since grown immensely in their leadership positions at the station,” Poland said. “Josh and Kaya played vital roles in keeping the station on air through months of lockdown and limited studio access helping students stay connected on and off-air.”
In addition to these two awesome student management nominations, WMSC also received recognition in 10 other categories — Complete details are posted at montclair.edu. The winners of the IBS Media Awards will be announced during its 81st annual conference, which runs March 2-6.
