“City Talk” received the first place Talk Show STAR Award for the fourth time in the past five years. “The Community Report” was recognized as the best magazine show for the second time, and CMTV 24 was honored for the third time for overall excellence.
“The well-deserved awards confirm what Costa Mesa residents already know—that CMTV 24 is a community treasure that keeps us informed on a wide variety of City matters,” Mayor Gary Monahan said. “And I personally congratulate the dynamic duo who run CMTV 24—Dane Bora and Brad Long—for all their hard work and dedication to Costa Mesa.”

Way to go. A positive look at Costa mesa. I watched the Lyon Museum show and the train show. These guys do a great job. Keep up the good work. Something Costamesaians can be proud off.
Well deserved rewards for talented and hard-working (I know from experience) people.
In the current extremist culture, I suppose that makes them prime candidates for the layoff list. After all, the city supposedly can't afford to pay quality wages for quality work. Maybe city hall can outsource Telecomm to a fly-by-night with undocumented workers.
Or even drop the capability altogether. I mean, really, how much does T/C contribute to Righeimer's bottom line? He's willing, even eager, to shrink the city's near-term quality of service, so it's likely he cares even less about long term quality of city service.
Dane and Brad contribute greatly to both short-term and long-term quality of life in Costa Mesa. If only they could produce revenue as well.
Oh well, it's been good to know you, Dane and Brad. I'm sure your next city will be delighted to acquire your talents.
They deserved that award just for the uneditted press conference video...
