The Steve Katsos Show Wins 2020 Hometown Media Award from the Alliance for Community Media Foundation for Entertainment & Arts Series Independent Producer
ARLINGTON, MA ─ JUNE 4, 2020 ─ Arlington Community Media Inc.'s The Steve Katsos Show received a 2020 Hometown Media Award from the Alliance for Community Media Foundation. The awards program was established to honor and promote community media and local cable programs that are distributed on Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) access cable television channels.
The Steve Katsos Show, produced in Arlington, Massachusetts and distributed internationally, previously won the Hometown Media Award in 2011 for Website for Producers.
"I'm excited that we have received this national award for the actual program. It was ten years of dedication and our volunteers did an amazing job for the community," said Executive Producer Steven Katsos.
Each year, a panel of judges evaluates over a thousand entries based on several factors including subject, experience and budget. Awards are then 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. Proceeds from the awards program are used exclusively for facilitating, preserving and promoting education in community media.
“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.
