SANTA ANA’S CHANNEL WINS 3 AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
The City of Santa Ana’s cable channel, KCTY Channel 3, won three of the five Awards for Cable Excellence presented to Orange County producers Monday night at the National Cable Television Assn. annual convention in Las Vegas.
KCTY picked up the ACE’s for a magazine show about Santa Ana’s Golden City Days Wine & Harvest Festival, for an informational program about the city’s “Green Acres” water reclamation project and for the public service announcement entitled “Showdown at Graffiti Gulch,” designed to enlist community support in stemming the city’s graffiti problem.
KCTY is the city-operated community service cable channel.
Other awards went to Comcast Cablevision of North Orange Cluster for a sports program on “The Great American Race” and to Community Cablevision of Newport Beach for sports coverage of the 1986 Police Olympics in that city.
The programs were among 132 nominees in 31 categories of awards, cable television’s answer to the Emmys. There were 720 entries from throughout the country drawn from programs that aired on cable systems between Nov. 2, 1985, and Dec. 31, 1986.
The NCTA show was hosted by “Love Boat” star Gavin McLeod and was cablecast for the third year on the CBN Cable Network.
