Y98 Mistletoe Show
St. Louis radio station Y98 and McKendree University partnered to host the Y98 Mistletoe
Show Insider Contest. Current students were invited to submit a creative entry on
“What McKendree Means to You” and then participate in an on-stage audition. Britani Beasley ’15, a speech communication major, won the campus competition and represented McKendree
University as a red carpet correspondent at the Y98 Mistletoe Show on Dec. 8, 2013
at the Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo. Britani won the opportunity to go behind the
scenes and interview fans and “Phillips and Company” on-air talent before the show;
take part in the artist meet and greet; and introduce Gavin DeGraw on stage. She also
contributed to a video blog that was produced by Afton (Wiggs) Spriggs ’05, CBS Radio’s Digital Content Manager.
