Promax released its list of finalists for the 2022 Local TV Station Summit awards last week. The finalists represent the best creative done by TV stations that submitted work.

Winners will be announced during the Station Summit at a luncheon at The Mirage in Las Vegas on Thursday, June 23.

Promax has generously given Market Share access to all the nominations.

So, over the next couple of weeks leading up the Station Summit during the week of June 20, Market Share will be showing examples of the promos nominated in the most popular categories, starting today with the General Branding/Image: News Station Image awards in markets large, medium and small.

What characteristics impressed the judges enough to make them a finalist?
