The radio event of the year was definitely the October utility-mandated blackouts, while a longtime Wednesday Music Magazine host won KVMR 89.5 FM’s Bill Tuttle Lifetime Achievement Award. “Being a part of this radio station has certainly been one of the best parts of my lifetime,” a smiling Jenny Michael told over 300 KVMR broadcasters and volunteers at the station’s holiday banquet at the Miner’s Foundry in Nevada City. She’d just been named the 2019 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement honors. “Achievement? I’d call it a gift really, that almost 28 years ago I was given an opportunity to become a part of this remarkable and magical radio station,” she added.
