980 CJME and 650 CKOM are in the finals in the Best Newscast category at the Radio Television Digital News Association Canada’s (RTDNA) annual awards.
980 CJME’s entry was a newscast from March 2025, the morning of the fire and explosion at the Regina refinery that left two workers hurt. All this unfolded while another reporter simultaneously covered an unrelated fire elsewhere in the city.
That same coverage is singled out in the Breaking News category, as 980 CJME kept listeners and readers up to date as the story developed throughout that morning as Regina’s fire chief and the Co-op confirmed what happened.
For 650 CKOM, it was a newscast from November of 2025, the morning after the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup. The broadcast featured reporters in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and along Regina’s Green Mile as fans and the team celebrated.
The broadcast also featured a guilty verdict in a well-known Saskatchewan cold case.
The association also recognized the collective efforts of our two teams as finalists in the News – Special Live Events award with 980 CJME nominated for the post-game Green Zone broadcast the night of the Riders Grey Cup victory, and 650 CKOM recognized for a nearly five-hour federal election night broadcast in the same category.
The RTDNA has also recognized individual members of our news team.
Britton Gray’s curling feature on two sisters from Saudi Arabia was shortlisted in the Excellence in Sports Reporting category, while Brittany Caffet’s work on the Turtle Lake Monster was nominated in the Feature News – Digital category, and her three-part series The Remarkable Klara Belkin was a finalist in the Best Podcast category.
The winners will be announced in the fall.
