award is the highest regional award bestowed on community media
centers, for which Medford topped other centers from the entire New
England region as well as New York state"
Ms
Piques should be the P.R. person for that lady hired at Medford High
School that ran around saying she won the teacher of the year award when
she didn't! Too funny...and you don't have to pay for the teacher of
the year award, you have to pay ACM to even be considered, with stations
that have far more merit and good, honest programming left in the
dust...because they didn't pony up the cash, Jackie!
Jackie doesn't note:
1)That
it was the "highest regional award" for the category allegedly with the
least submissions, stations under Three Hundred Thousand a year.
It's the award category sub-standard stations go for when they are desperate to win.

2)Ms.
Piques never mentioned that cable TV subscriber monies went for some
phony pay-to-play award rather than new electronics for the stations or
computer programs or things useful for the community
It is NOT an award you win on merit but on PAYMENT
3)This
journalist and veteran of access spanning forty-one years believes that
the city and Mr. Gordon fraudulently call the station "Under Three
Hundred Thousand" because - were they HONEST with the ACM, they would
note that it's a P/E/G station run by Medford City Government with
Gordon handling public, educational and government, and spending the
least amount of time on public access, in my opinion...based on
information and belief.
Can
Ms. Piques be fired for fraudulently bragging about a station that asks
for CORI checks on grandmas who want to bake cookies on the air? Or
grandpas who want to tape the North End like my dearly departed friend
Pat would do? Or a disabled person on a limited income not able to pay
the seventy-five dollars so that his show can be considered? A CORI check on your grandma does NOT make the station eligible for the "highest" award, AND IT WASN'T THE DAMN HIGHEST AWARD, MS JACKIE...CHECK YOUR FACTS...
