Seattle’s municipal cable channel wins six government programming
awards
SEATTLE — TVSea, the city of Seattle’s municipal cable channel, brought home
six awards from the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors 15th annual Government Programming Awards.
The awards recognize excellence in broadcast, cable, multimedia and electronic programming
developed by municipal agencies. Competing against other large cities across the country,
TVSea won two first-place trophies in the following categories for the following entries:
- Global Reading Challenge (category: children); and
- The TVSea website, www.cityofseattle.net/tvsea/
(category: government access station website).
The TVSea documentary "Teen Music in Seattle: dead or alive," a look at the
teen dance ordinance, received a second-place award in the documentary social issues
category and the City of Seattle website (www.cityofseattle.net/)
received a second-place award in the city or county website category.
"Voices of the WTO," the TVSea documentary which looked at the issues that
brought protestors and delegates to Seattle, was awarded a third place in the documentary
profile category. The Police department’s "Beyond The Badge" program won a
third place in the "bloopers/outtakes" competition.
Earlier this summer, TVSea received four awards in the Alliance for Community Media’s
annual Home Town USA Video Festival. TVSea can be seen on Channel 21 in approximately
160,000 homes in the city of Seattle.
