ASI Student Media Coordinator Danny Lemos attributes the recent success of Kbeach Radio to the passion for broadcasting his students bring to the table each and every day. "Our student's ability to read the pulse of the student body is one of their greatest strengths," Lemos said in a statement. "I know they don't do such great work for the recognition, but when it's acknowledged like this, we all know we're doing something right."
This year, Kbeach Radio has received seven Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) awards and claimed the number two spot for best college radio station in the nation.
