City of Tampa Television (CTTV), a division of the City of Tampa Public Affairs Office, produces diverse programming designed to serve and inform Tampa's residents, including monthly shows, public meetings, news conferences, public service announcements, bulletin board messages and special event programs. This year CTTV introduced “First Look at Tampa’s Redevelopment,” a program showcasing the private and public investments that are reshaping once proud neighborhoods located in Community Redevelopment Areas. Viewers witness how these communities are becoming more attractive, safe, environmentally healthy and economically strong. As an important public service to city residents, CTTV began to cablecast meetings of the Tampa Sports Authority. Once again, CTTV covered Badge Bowl, a flag-football game between the police department and the fire department to benefit a child who is battling cancer. This year CTTV received a second place Government Programming Award from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) in the category of Excellence in Government Programming.  The station also received an honorable mention in the category of Government Access Station Web Site. CTTV’s teen-oriented magazine program, “From the Corps,” received a first place Hometown Video Festival award in the Youth Magazine Shows category at the Alliance for Community Media’s annual awards ceremony.   “From the Corps” additionally took home a first place prize in Florida Recreation and Park Association’s Media Excellence awards program.  A biennial viewership survey was conducted to assess the needs of Tampa residents and identify ways of better informing the citizenry.
