Anyone have a full list of the weekends WVBA awards? I know WCHS won "Station of the year", "Best AM Newscast", and "Best Weather Cast"
WSAZ won "Best PM Newscast" "Best Photographer" "Best Anchor" "Best Breaking News Coverage" "Best Website"

Legendary station of the year = WQZK? Good grief, I'm old.

Did any of the West Virginia Media stations enter at all? If not, thats sad... if so, thats real sad...

Do you have to be a member to enter or is there an entry fee?

I forget the specifics, Bartholomew...but I do recall that stations were allowed the first few entries free, then a nominal charge for additionals..I think membership is a prerequisite. According to Michelle Crist, this was the best year ever for entries.

No WVMH entries...

Or any Huntington radio, for that matter.

No Beckley, as far as I can tell, either.

No entries from WOWK and WSAZ no longer enters the big categories like Station of the year.

The whole mess is completely irrelevant.

Ok, BM...no hit and run dismissals.

Please expound on your statement?

WV media is not allowed in WVBA awards because of the statewide resources. A friend of mine who works at WTRF told me that the owner got in an argument with WVBA over this so they don't even bother with it.

That sounds off, at least at first blush...WV Radio has virtually the same situation. It doesn't stop them, nor does it stop other, smaller stations from competing.

Couldn't each individual station just enter newscasts that contain material solely from that station? Basically everything but WV Tonight Live, right?

Sounds like Bray is just super cheap.

Guess it's like the WVBroadcasting.net awards. The only people who care who wins or loses and the people in the business.

True enough, but that's the only thing I'd care about. Peer respect is of more worth to me than what anyone outside the business thinks.
