900 CKBI nominated for two awards
The finalists for the Radio Television Digital News Association’s (RTDNA) prairie region awards were announced Wednesday morning, and 900 CKBI is a finalist in two categories.
The first RTDNA nomination is for the Ron Laidlaw continuing cover for radio award – for coverage of the river rescue last May, involving well-known volunteer Carol Soles.
Soles was involved in an ATV accident near MacDowall, and was swept down by the river. Thanks to the heroic efforts of her nephews, Soles was pulled to safety.
Last November, brothers Kyle and Tye, were recognized with medals for bravery.
