The Overall Excellence Public Access Award was given to NSTV for their 2022 Year in Review.
he Overall Excellence Awards acknowledge access organizations’ overall operational efforts as well as their programming efforts. Specifically, this award is given to an organization that only manages Public Access materials and channels.
The success of North Shore TV’s 2022 Year in Review is attributed to Erica Bradley, executive director; Robert Schaufeld, president; and Rebecca Farina, editor.
“Being awarded the Overall Excellence in Public Access makes me incredibly proud of my staff and our community. It’s a reflection of everyone working together to produce quality programming across the board. It’s truly an honor.” said Bradley.
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 evaluate 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 that appears on community channels being produced around the country. 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.
