The Kansas Association of Broadcasters Sports Seminar was held at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday, May 6th. Part of the day long activities is the presentation of the Hod Humiston Award which is given annually to a Kansas broadcaster who has made significant contributions to the field of sports broadcasting. The award is named for Hod Humiston who was the first television sportscaster in Kansas when he did play-by-play coverage of college games for KTVH (now KWCH TV), channel 12, Wichita.

He was instrumental in bringing the national junior college basketball tournament to Hutchinson, where it has been since 1949.

Rocky Downing is a past winner of this award; he is pictured at the event with former members who were also in attendance.
