(SitNews) Ketchikan, Alaska - Ketchikan Public Utilities announced that KPU TV is a winner in the 2014 Hometown Video competition sponsored by the National Alliance for Community Media.

The winning program, “This is Ketchikan,” was entered in the Overall Excellence <300K in the Governmental Access Category. Access cable TV producers from across the country are invited to participate in the Hometown Video Festival, and there were over 1,000 entries this year in student, independent producer and access center professional categories.

KPU TV’s winning entry is a 20 minute compilation of programs produced by KPU TV in 2013 and features such shows as local sports programming, Ketchikan’s Top Chef, Ketchikan’s World Record Breaking boot race, local musicians, artists, and events.

This is not KPU’s first national award, but it is the first time it has won the “Overall Excellence” Category outright. In previous years KPU has garnered several “Best of the Northwest” awards, as well as numerous other awards in a variety of categories.
The Alliance for Community Media is a national grass roots organization with chapters throughout the United States and is based in Washington D.C.
