There are approximately 2,200 Community TV stations nationwide and about 3,000 festival entries.

WPAA-TV falls into the 'small station' category of under $300,000.Susan Huizenga the volunteer Executive Director says "This recognition acknowledges that we are doing what is expected, representing a diversity of voices from a local perspective. It is always great to be recognized from peers who know the mission. Locally being discovered and valued is still one person at a time."
