A longtime Wednesday Music Magazine host is KVMR-FM’s 2016 Bill Tuttle Lifetime Achievement Award winner, while three women swept the station’s excellence in music programming awards — the first time that has happened. “When you volunteer at the same place for 28 years, well, there’s always love and passion,” beamed Coale to the overflow Miner’s Foundry crowd of 300. Meanwhile the music awards are named for John Nichols, instrumental in shaping the radio station’s sound in the 1980s. Jennifer Robin and Michael Ben — the hosts of “Dreamwalk” (Thur, 10am) — received special awards for outstanding coverage and commitment to the Standing Rock Water Protectors. Volunteer service award winners were published in the Prospector December 15.
