BCIT’s Corey Fischer Takes The “Red”

red1076I attended the annual Fall Scholarships and Awards ceremony at BCIT last week. The Red Robinson Achievement Award for Excellence in Radio Broadcasting is now 25 years old so it was an anniversary of sorts. This year’s recipient is Corey Fischer. This young man walked away with two awards in the ceremony: he was also recipient of the JoyTV Awards for Broadcast and Media Communications: Journalism, TV or Radio. My friends in the industry created this award back in 1988. I try to be on hand for the ceremony but for many years I couldn’t because of my morning radio show or my contribution each Wednesday to Global TV. I sat with Corey during the ceremony. He has the drive required to make it in the media. I wish him luck.
