“T��� engaged learning opportunities we are consistently able to provide help the over 60 students involved at The Bronc perfect their craft,” says John Mozes, general manager. “T���ir passion and energy for both our FM and Retro radio station is contagious. It’s extremely rewarding to see our students recognized nationally for their hard work and commitment.”

Witkowski, co-production director for 107.7 The Bronc, says making the submission reel for the Best College Radio Station award was one of the hardest things he’s ever done. “It was like putting together a highlight reel of my family. How can you pick highlights when you think everything they do is great?”

Winners will be announced on Feb. 25 during the 2023 Intercollegiate Broadcasting Conference at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. The conference provides attendees an opportunity to learn about and exchange ideas in the field of broadcasting through featured guest speakers and informational sessions. Prior to the ceremony, Mozes and staff will be holding a panel discussion as part of the event’s Marconi Spotlight Series in which Marconi Award-nominated stations answer audience questions and reflect on their year in broadcasting.

In addition to their stellar radio programming, the stations produce some of Rider’s most popular events such as Scream Screen, a drive-in movie and trunk-or-treat experience, and the Eggscellent Egg Hunt, a classic egg hunt with a $1,000 grand prize. Another student favorite is Cruisin’ From Commencement, the stations’ yearly competition where members of the graduating class have the opportunity to win a new car.
