IUP-TV Sports Productions was honored for excellence in the 2011 College Sports Media Awards competition with nominations for awards in the Live Game and Event Production category and an honorable mention in the Outstanding Promotional Video, PSA, Program, Open, or Campaign category.
The competition is sponsored by the Sports Video Group and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
All of the recognized entries were from the men's basketball season: The games against West Liberty University and Edinboro University were nominated for awards and The Road to the Elite Eight received an honorable mention.
IUP-TV Sports Productions has an all-student crew. Communications Media Department member David Lind is the executive producer of the show.
“Having two nominations in both categories is an outstanding achievement for our student production crew,” Lind said.
