CTV's Community Producers and Station Volunteers were honored at our Annual Recognition Ceremony over the weekend.  Programs winners were announced for categories including Best Youth Show, Best Performing Arts, Best Talk Show, Best Information, Best PSA, Most Prolific Producer, Program of the Year, and Volunteer of the Year. Additionally we recognized producers who had 150 or more shows submitted for playback.

We also had a wonderful spread of food that delighted the crowd and for that we would like to thank
Raley's/Nob Hill, New Leaf Community Markets, Staff of Life, Zoccoli's Deli and Bruno's Barbecue.  Their generous donations were  deliciously appreciated by all who attended. Thanks for supporting your local community media makers!

Public Access Television is the ultimate platform for free speech and Santa Cruz County is lucky to have such an active, diverse group of community producers utilizing this resource for a full spectrum of topics, opinions and production values.  And there is always room for more! Sign up for an orientation class today (831-425-8848) and learn about the ways you can get involved in public access and make media that reflects YOU!
