Idaho
Shot entirely on location, Outdoor Idaho on Idaho Public Television (Idaho PTV) examines the significant environmental and resource issues facing the intermountain West. The program, which won the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for “Video News Documentary” (Region 1) in both 2010 and 2011, has earned hundreds of national and regional awards, making it the most honored half-hour program in the West.
Idaho PTV’s Dialogue, the state’s only statewide call-in program, airs weekly and covers issues of importance to Idahoans.
Other Idaho PTV productions are in national distribution: Barbara Morgan: No Limits, Yellowstone: Land to Life, Ribbon of Sand through PBS, Assassination: Idaho’s Trial of the Century through American Public Television, and The Social Code through the National Educational Telecommunications Association service.
KBSU-FM in Boise produces Edible Idaho. In 2011, the weekly show focused on the Year of Idaho Food, a grassroots, yearlong, statewide look at foods grown in Idaho and their social, economic, and environmental significance. The program, which airs on Boise State Public Radio, is rebroadcast regionally through the Northwest News Network and nationally on America Public Media’s The Splendid Table. Edible Idaho won three first-place 2010 Idaho Press Club Awards for “Radio Serious Feature Report,” “Radio Light Feature Report,” and ”Radio Watchdog/Investigative Report.”
