The University of Tulsa's KWGS radio was honored Friday evening with two "Outstanding Achievement in Broadcasting" Awards from the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters. The awards were presented at the end of the Association's annual convention in Oklahoma City.
KWGS reporter Matt Trotter was cited for his coverage of the botched execution of Oklahoma death row inmate Clayton Lockett at the state prison at McAlester, while KWGS news director and Morning Edition local host John Durkee was honored for a feature on the works of the Tulsa Salvation Army.
The awards were presented at the association's banquet at the Skrvin Hotel in Oklahoma City. KWGS was the only Tulsa radio station honored at the event.
