KTUH students win
• Students from the University of Hawai'i's radio station, KTUH FM, took top honors in a national radio production contest. Allyson Ota, a junior information and computer sciences major, and Danielle Keku'i Ledward, a 2001 graduate in communications, won first and second prize, respectively, in the College Media Advisers' national competition for Best Technical Production in Radio.
Both staff members submitted radio spots that they produced during the 2000-2001 school year for KTUH's events calendar.
Doug Mitchell, lead coordinator for National Public Radio's Next Generation Radio Training Initiative and one of the contest judges, said the award-winning KTUH spots demonstrated creativity in concept, editing, sound effects and narration.
Early last fall, another KTUH staff member won a national award when the Scripps Howard Foundation named Lori Ann Saeki, the station's interim general manager, as one of the country's most valuable college radio station staffers. Both Saeki and KTUH received checks for $5,000 as part of the award.
KTUH is a student-operated radio station licensed to the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. It broadcasts at 90.3 in Honolulu, 91.3 on the North Shore and 89.7 in Hawai'i Kai.
