The Bravery in Radio Award
In April 2009, WPSC 88.7 FM, the radio station of William Paterson University launched the 'Bravery in Radio' Award. The inaugural award was presented to Les Paul in April 2009 for his pioneering work on the Les Paul Radio Show in 1949 with his wife Mary Ford. In April 2010, Bruce Morrow (Cousin Brucie) received the award in recognition of his track record of creating "inspirational programming and a lifelong commitment to the medium of radio." In March 2011, the award was presented live on the Howard Stern Show to Howard Stern and Robin Quivers who accepted the award for their "pioneering work in the medium of radio." After some on-air ribbing of the award and the university, Stern then sincerely accepted the award by saying “Thank you very much for this beautiful award. I do appreciate it - I’m not so jaded that I can’t be complimented by the students.”
