DAYTON, Ohio (CNS) -- New England Cable News in Newton, Mass., outside Boston, and KNOM Radio in Nome, Alaska, were chosen as "stations of the year" in TV and radio, respectively, by the judges of the 2007 Gabriel Awards. New England Cable News received this award in 2004 and 2005, and was awarded a certificate of merit in 2006. This is the 15th year KNOM has been honored as station of the year. The Gabriels are in their 42nd year and are sponsored by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals, which is based in Dayton. Gabriel winners were announced in a July 30 press release. Winners are chosen from among entrants in 60 categories of TV, radio and film -- including 20 Spanish-language categories. Their programming is evaluated for content that affirms human dignity and values. This year, 18 television and 10 radio programs, five Spanish-language radio and TV programs, and four films have won awards. The Gabriel Awards -- nine-inch silver figures of the angel Gabriel -- will be presented to winners Oct. 26 at a ceremony in Hollywood, Calif.
