VIRGINIA CURRENTS takes top honors...
Series wins five Telly Awards and a Virginia Association of Broadcasters Award

Richmond, VA– The Community Idea Stations’ weekly newsmagazine, VIRGINIA CURRENTS, received honors from the 23rd Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards showcase and give recognition to outstanding non-network and cable commercials, film and video productions.

Entries in the Telly Awards are judged on a rigorous 10-point scale, rather than competing against other entrants. Submissions receiving a score of 7-8.9 are finalists and receive a Bronze Telly Award. Those receiving a score of 9.0 or higher are winners and receive a Silver Telly Award. Silver Telly honors went to VIRGINIA CURRENTS for the "Roosevelt Deployment" segment. Episode #1112 and segments "Ralph White," "Horse Logger" and "Nursing Home Elvis" received Bronze Telly honors.

VIRGINIA CURRENTS staff members honored for their work were Shawn Freude, May-Lily Lee, Mason Mills and John Warner. Richard Haselwood, Melina Lagios and Andrea Odiorne also contributed to these segments.

VIRGINIA CURRENTS also won a First Place Station Award from the Virginia Association of Broadcasters in the category of Outstanding News Series for its "Melvin Fensom" segment.

VIRGINIA CURRENTS, now in its sixteenth season, has received over 150 honors over the years. The popular series features stories about the people, places and issues of the Commonwealth. The series airs statewide on Virginia’s public television stations and is distributed worldwide via the U.S. Information Agency.
