Hall of Fame

Since 2008, Wisconsin Community Media has been recognizing the dedication of community television professionals who provide access television services to their communities.  Those the Wisconsin Community Media Board of Directors nominate for this honor have devoted countless hours to the mission of access far above what is required in their work.  They have been valued leaders on the state level and we will always remember their contribution.
