Radio station is honored for second year

February 26, 2008 at 1:47AM

For the second year in a row, WFMP (107.1 FM) has been honored for its work focusing on breast cancer. The Twin Cities radio station's public service announcement campaign received a Gracie Award, which recognizes outstanding programming created by women for women.

Other winners this year include Miley Cyrus, Maya Angelou and Debra Messing. This year's initiative was spearheaded by mid-morning host Kevyn Burger, whose breast cancer was diagnosed last year.

Burger and Colleen Lindstrom won a Gracie in 2007 for conducting monthly on-air breast self-exams on the air. The awards will be distributed in New York City in late May.
