BCTV and NEYT are Hometown Media Awards winners!

June 24, 2021

Some good news came out of 2020! BCTV submitted two winning entries to the Alliance for Community Media's national Hometown Media Awards for programs aired on BCTV in 2020.

1 - New England Youth Theatre and Broad Brothers' video, "NEYT's Romeo and Juliet in COVID Times" was named the Winner in the category of Local Performances, Student Division. The producers, Aja and Kaelan Selbach-Broad, were NEYT alumni before studying film at Syracuse University. They produced the video in the summer of 2020 and it opens with an explanation of the techniques they used to adhere to COVID safety regulations while filming a great performance with a youth cast and crew. BCTV aired the video after it was edited and premiered.
