April 9, 2015

John Herrick, sports director of Chisholm Trail Broadcasting and 2010 graduate of DePauw University, has been named "Non-Metro Radio Personality of the Year" by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters.  Herrick was honored "for his play-by-play sportscasts on AM 1390 KCRC," notes the Enid News & Eagle.

In a 2013 profile, the same newspaper noted, "Herrick started broadcasting as a freshman on DePauw’s student radio station WGRE, doing three sportcasts per week. 'I realized I was pretty good at doing those sportscasts,' he said. When DePauw’s women’s basketball team qualified for the nationals in his freshman year, Herrick was told he was going to do the games. He got to broadcast DePauw winning the Division III championship ... He kept doing men’s and women’s basketball and added football his junior year. The favorite part of his job now is broadcasting basketball, tournaments, doing as many as 12 games over a three-day period."

Herrick (seen at left with AXS TV's Kenny Rice and Paul Maguire) was a communication major as an undergraduate.
