Here is a complete list of radio and television stations recognized with first- and second-place awards in the 2007 Colorado Associated Press Broadcasters Association Contest.
AP-member broadcasters in Florida judged Colorado stations’ entries, which must have been broadcast between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2007. Entries in the newscast, morning newscast, weathercast and sportscast categories must have been submitted from among four AP-designated contest days.
Stations were allowed to submit as many entries in each category as they chose, allowing entrants with outstanding work in a particular area to sweep a category.
The awards were presented this afternoon at the Brown Palace Hotel in downtown Denver.
