MtvU announced Monday that a student radio station in Washington won the College Radio Woodie, an award recognizing pioneering college radio stations.

KUPS 90.1 FM, from the University of Puget Sound, in Tacoma, Washington, will receive its honor at the Woodie Awards in New York City on Dec. 4.

WPTS a finalist for the award. MtvU named WPTS one of the top five collegiate radio stations in the United States.

Nate Hanson, the station’s engineering director, said it was an honor to make the top five.

“You can’t be upset with anyone for putting you in a category of excellence with such a small number of radio stations,” he said.

Pitt students had the opportunity to vote for WPTS online before mtvU made its decision.
