TVSea Feature Segment Wins Regional Emmy award
SEATTLE — TVSea, Seattle’s municipal cable channel, picked up an Emmy
award in the "public affairs segment" category for its feature story
"Just Like Noah" at the 39th annual Northwest Regional Emmy Awards,
held June 15, 2002. The award-winning clip can be viewed on-line as streamed
video at http://www2.ci.seattle.wa.us/media/ (a link is located within the
"award winning videos" category).
The 15-minute segment profiles Noah Gray, a homeless Seattle man. The camera
follows Noah as he struggles with health issues and a search for housing, along
with the other hardships facing those trying to survive on the streets of
Seattle. Producer Christina Darden and photographer/editor Ralph Bevins created
this segment for TVSea. Hap Freund was executive producer.
The Seattle-Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences (NATAS) serves television professionals in Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Alaska and Montana. The Northwest Regional Emmy Awards ceremonies highlight each
year’s activities.
TVSea is available on channel 21 for AT&T Broadband cable customers and channel 28 for Millennium cable customers. About 58 percent of Seattle residents
