Within every industry, there is a standard that businesses aspire to. In some, there are industry wide awards that honor the best of the best. Within TV broadcasting, that award is the Telly. Recently, Close Up TV News was nominated and selected as a Telly winner, by virtue of Close Up TV News's excellent track record of high quality interviews.

Close Up TV News personality Jim Masters was suitably thrilled when informed that Close Up TV News had won a Telly. “In everything I do,” Jim explained, “I aim to be the best. It does not matter whether I am working in front of a camera or on stage in a play. My goal is always to be recognizably and indisputably the best at it. Our success, and the Telly that stemmed from it, is proof that this team carries that same mindset with them.”

The Telly award that Close Up TV News claimed in 2008 was for best video production. The technical award is further proof that Close Up TV News values the quality of its work and is unwilling to allow lesser quality shows to be produced in its studios. Close Up TV News works hard to produce excellent technical work, and the Telly is a great reward for the individuals who work so hard putting each show together.

Close Up TV News has become well known in the market that it has helped create. Clients and personalities who appear on the show have noticed the high standard of technical work while they are on set, and have commented that working with Close Up TV News feels like you are on the set of a major TV network, not working with an advertising firm. Close Up TV News aims to keep this feel going as they move forward in business.

Looking forward, Close Up TV News hopes to claim more awards. Chief among them, Close Up TV News hopes to one day capture the coveted Best Overall Program Telly, which is delivered to the program with the highest overall quality of technical production, newscasting, and storyline. Close Up TV News is proud of where it has come so far, and is excited about the future.
