- Date: 5/10/16
May 10, 2016 – Sioux Falls, SD: Midco® Business and Midco Sports Network® earned eight awards from the 37th Annual Telly Awards, including two Silver Awards, the highest Telly honor.
The Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. A judging panel of more than 500 industry professionals – each a past Silver Telly winner and a member of The Silver Telly Council – evaluated more than 13,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries.
The People’s Telly awards allow the public to vote on online submissions. Each year, the People’s Telly averages over 125,000 video views with ratings cast from viewers from across the world. Midco Business and Midco Sports Network each earned a People’s Telly.
“We’re honored to receive this national recognition,” said Mark Powell, VP of Business Development for Midco Business and MidcoSN®. “I truly believe our advertising production and MidcoSN teams are among the best in the business. When you consider that less than 10% of entries earn a Silver Telly, and 25% earn a Bronze, these awards prove our work stands the test."
