Pubcasting awards

Forget station budget woes and towers falling over and that pesky, moving-target DTV transition. Let's talk awards. On Jan. 15 at the NETA conference, 23 pubcasters received 39 trophies for 2008 program production, promotion, outreach, and instructional media. Special recognition -- "The Best of the Best" -- went to two stations, OETA in Oklahoma City for its Gallery: The People’s Art (program production) and WETA in Arlington, Va., for The War (outreach).
