North Shore TV once again received a 2024 Hometown Media Award from the Alliance for Community Media Foundation. The awards program was established to honor and promote community media, community radio, and local cable programs that are distributed on public, educational and governmental access cable television channels.
Proceeds go to the ACM Foundation, which is exclusively used to facilitate, preserve, and promote education in community media.
The Alliance for Community Media Overall Excellence Award is a prestigious accolade recognizing exceptional community media organizations’ outstanding public, educational, and government access programming achievements.
These awards celebrate the creative efforts, technical skill, and community impact of media centers that produce content reflecting their communities’ diverse voices and interests.
“We are deeply honored to receive the Alliance for Community Media’s Overall Excellence Award. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and dedication of our incredible team, volunteers, and community supporters.”, said North Shore TV’s Executive Director, Erica Bradley.
“This award is not just a reflection of our efforts but a celebration of the vibrant, diverse voices that make up our community. Community media fosters free speech, promotes civic engagement, and provides educational resources.
Recognizing our contributions underscores the importance of our mission and the impact we strive to make every day. Special thanks to our volunteers and partners, whose collaboration and support have been invaluable. Together, North Shore TV will continue to create, innovate, and make a difference in our community.”
Each year, nearly one thousand entries are submitted. These entries, or programs, are submitted and evaluated on several factors, resulting in over 100 award winners. A panel of over 150 judges from the industry evaluates the entries.
Awards are presented to the most creative programs that address community needs, develop diverse community involvement, challenge conventional commercial television formats, and move viewers to experience television in a different way.
“The Hometown Media Awards celebrate both the excellence of work and the diversity of media appearing on community channels being produced nationwide. The ACM Foundation is proud of their achievement and of how they represent their communities in their work,” said Mike Wassenaar, president & CEO, Alliance for Community Media.
