Over the last 337 days, KGOU has produced nearly 800 news and feature stories for broadcast and/or our website. At least 29 times, our reporters contributed to national shows. KGOU and StateImpact Oklahoma were honored with 50 awards in 2015, 39 for the professional staff and 11 for student broadcasters, five in national contests. It's been a great year, so far. As you might have heard us say, listener support is what keeps it all going. It's not too late to donate and get a tax deduction for 2015. Thank you -- for listening, for visiting our website, and for your financial contributions. It's been our pleasure to serve you in 2015.
