In March, the Alliance for Community Media West convened in Fresno for their yearly Western Access Video Excellence Award. This year, CAPS Media Center took home the WAVE Award for Best Government Access program! The winning program, the Ventura County News Channel’s “Featuring Ventura County – Channel Islands Harbor Patrol”, can be found on the CAPS Media YouTube channel. Congratulations to Bill Nash, the County of Ventura, and Gary Roll for the win. We are producing city, county, educational and other programs to garner more awards next year.

In other radio news, CAPS Media is recruiting for an open intern position at the radio station to help with programming, recording and producing. It’s a great way to earn community service hours, learn and have fun. If you know someone interested in a career in radio, television, or the nonprofit world, send them our way! Interns will get an inside perspective on all aspects of radio production, as well as excellent on-the-job experience.
