Here is a complete list of radio and television stations recognized with first- and second-place awards in the 2006 Colorado Associated Press Broadcasters Association Contest.
AP-member broadcasters in Oregon judged Colorado stations’ entries, which must have been broadcast between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31. Entries in the newscast, morning newscast, weathercast and sportscast categories must have been submitted from among five AP-designated contest days.
Stations were permitted two entries per category, allowing entrants with outstanding work in a particular area to sweep a category.
The awards were presented Saturday night at the JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek.
