Two Local Productions Gain High Honors
(November 17, 2007) Chelmsford TeleMedia has two winners in this year's Alliance for Community Media-Northeast fall video
competition the “Emmys” of Access Television. The awards presentation took place today in White Plains, New York.
Chelmsford TeleMedia and the CHS-TV club, together with Lowell Telecommunications,
won the award for live sports coverage (professional) for broadcasts of Lowell Spinners' games. Each game required the talents of nearly two
dozen crewmembers from Chelmsford High School and LTC, plus our on-air commentators Bob Ellis and Chaz Scoggins.
CTM's Tom Peterson and Robert Haig of LTC produced and supervised the production team.
Maxwell Scott, a senior at CHS, won first place in the student category for his documentary Any Road Will Do.
Last winter Max traveled to Laos and Thailand, where Max’s father, Matt, and partner Jeff Hino helped organize and equip the first privately owned
television station in Laos. Max's film documents the start-up operations of the Laostar channel, the excitement and energy of the young staff,
and the ramifications of this new concept for Laos. The film can be viewed on Channel 8.
