Yes, CCTV in Cambridge also won in its category. In fact, MA access centers won in all three public access budget categories because Fall River won as a small center. The awards are based on a thirty-minute compilation reel of snippits of programs that aired in 2008, as well as written information about the center's activities and the community groups it serves. The other awards are for individual programs. As you can see from the award website, it is quite competitive because access centers enter from all around the country.

I assume the money range refers to the station's budget. Note, there were many other categories and winners, so there are still other awards to strive for. Our neighbor, Cambridge Community Television was recognized in "Overall Excellence in Public Access - $500,000 or more". I'd be interested to know more about what criteria were used and what the process was like to select winners. Anyway, congratulations and keep up the great work!
