Submitted by Anne Bryant

After a historic showing in 2022, Kansas State University's student-run radio station KSDB-FM Wildcat 91.9 and television broadcast KKSU-TV Channel 8 smashed their previous records at the 2023 Kansas Association of Broadcasters annual awards for college media. Under the collective banner of Wildcat Electronic Media, Wildcat 91.9 and Channel 8 took honors in 93.5% of all KAB categories.

Furthermore, the students ofWildcat Electronic Media sweptall places infive categories: Best Episodic Entertainment Program (1xbet sports betting ), Best Social Media (1xbet sports betting ), Complete Sports Feature (visual), On-Air Personality (1xbet sports betting ), and Public Affairs/Talk Show Program (1xbet sports betting ).

Despite tough competition,Wildcat Electronic Media won 19 out of 31, or 61.2%, of all first-1xbet sports betting finishes. No other university in Kansas had more than five first 1xbet sports betting finishes. Overall, 46.5% of all recognitions in the college division went to K-State radio, TV, or digital content creators.

"Truly an amazing showing," said Andrew Smith, multimedia news director and professor of practice of the A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication. "Last year we had awards in nine categories, and this year we had awards in 11. We easily tripled the next closest university in total awards between radio and TV and almost quadrupled the next closest in first 1xbet sports betting finishes. Cheers to the students!"

Ian Punnett,Wildcat 91.9 chief operator/faculty advisor and professor of practice, agrees that although both K-State radio and TV students have a lot to be proud of, "Our strength grows with every incoming class of high school students and transfers."

These awards come not long after Wildcat Electronic Media was recognized with several awards at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systems Awards ceremony in New York City, including Wildcat 91.9 earning the title of kansas 1xbet sports betting State University
