I've been waiting for the official release on this, and now I've got it. Yahoo!Matt Hendrickson, KJAM Radio Sports Director and Voice of the Madison Bulldogs, has won first place in the South Dakota Associated Press 2007 Contest in the Commercial Radio-Sports Story category. His October 10 report on Harrisburg joining the Big 8 Conference beat out stories by KWSN's Craig Mattick and Bob Laskowski and WNAX's Jerry Oster and Steve Imming. Talk about beating the big dogs! Those venerable duos each received honorable mention for their stories... and those stories each took two guys to write! Our Matt beat 'em single-handedly!
We don't know if making the top of the heap gets Matt a raise (Lorin, are you listening? :-) ). But Matt gets our kudos... and another boost for his blog, The Jackrabbit's Den! Keep up the good work, Matt!
(Speaking of good work, now let's get to work on winning that AP website award. WNAX took first there, with honorable mention to KGFX and KORN. Let's amp up that KJAM website... or just add the Madville Times Posts and Comments RSS feeds: that'll win you hits and awards for
sure! ;-) )--------------------
Update 2008.05.12: KJAM provides photos -- and hey! Dylon Steen and Jim Otis got Honorable Mention for Talk and Public Affairs. Good work, men!

Matt H deserves the recognition. He works hard, puts in long hours and loves his job. Nothing better.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for the shameless plug, Cory. I'm all about the shameless plugs! LOL
ReplyDeleteBut to be named in the same breath as Craig, Bob, Steve and Jerry is a pretty awesome feeling by itself. To actually have won first place against these guys is truly humbling.
Again, thanks for the kudos!
