*Paul Cotter, James Gale and Will Picard won first place in the Long Form Production Non-News (TV) category for Bob Reitman: Radio On.

“We are thrilled that our students were honored with both the first and second place awards in the Long Form Production Non-News category this year,” said Kevin Pulz, the program coordinator of MATC’s Television and Video Production program. “The Reitman program created by Paul, Will and James was not only an excellent student program, but its production quality is equal to many professional productions on the air today.”
