Plano Television Network Earns 6 Aurora Awards

Productions by the Plano Television Network (PTN) team garnered six 2006 Aurora Awards.  The Aurora Awards, an international competition, recognizes excellence in the film and video industries. It specifically targets programs and commercials less likely to have the opportunity to compete on a national level, by focusing on non-national commercials, regional or special interest entertainment and corporate sponsored film and video.
