The Navy-Broadcasting Service, Keflavik Detach-
ment, has garnered three merit awards from the
Navy's Chief of Information (CHINFO).
The locally produced afternoon news program,
News Four, won first place in the single televi-
sion newscast division; USO radio spots produced
by the detachment also placed first in the radio
spot production division; and a special radio
program by J01 Gary Bennett, "Tribute to a Star,"
earned second place in its category.
Bennett, who was the anchorman for News Four,
has recently been transferred from Iceland.
Providing the best in news, information and
entertainment for the Naval Station has been the
slogan of NBS and this recognition of the quality
of their work by CHINFO signals their success.
The CHINFO-Merit Awards are designed to encour-
age quality in broadcast and print media within
the Navy. The winners are automatically entered
in the Thomas Jefferson Award competition sponsor-
ed by the Defense Information School on behalf of
the Department of Defense. Winners of this com-
petition are the best communication media in the
United States military services.
JOC Ron Hester, station manager, when asked
how he felt about these awards said, "It is an
honor, especially when you realize that we had
over 700 competitors; that we are a relatively
small unit; and that we are the only two-channel
military operation in the world. I'm extremely
proud of these folks." The chief explained that
being a two-channel operation means that his
people have twice as much work to do as a one-
channel operation.
The results were announced in a CHINFO message,
letters and certificates for winning entries will
be forwarded in November.
