College radio awards just won't stop! CMJ announced its College Radio Awards Nominees for 2008. There are some obscure stations that I'd never heard of, but also a lot of familiar names, some of whom are nominated for the mtvU awards. One difference, though, is that CMJ also recognized stations that are known beyond their own campuses like public radio station KCRW, well-funded KEXP, popular community radio station WFMU, and satellite channel XMU.
I'm also pleased to see that one of my former haunts (WBGU) got a nomination for Specialty Music Director of the Year. Alright!
Of course there are also some notable omissions...but you can't please everyone with awards.
The winners will be announced at the CMJ Music Marathon's College Day October 23, 2008 in NYC. Here are the nominees (which, by the way, anyone with a CMJ badge will be able to vote on during the conference).

Hey! This is mad cool to see this posted up elsewhere!
Andrew and I (Brian) have been kicking butt, so we're very proud of our nomination. Thanks for passing it, and all of the other nominations, on!

RPM/IGE Music Co-Director
WBGU 88.1 FM
Bowling Green, Ohio
For anyone who will be going to CMJ, I would urge everyone to vote for Andrew Balcerzak and Brian Scavo as Specialty Music Directors of the Year. I've had the pleasure to work with both of them at WBGU, and I can tell you that there are few people who are more dedicated or work harder in college radio than both of them.
