Award details
Eligibility for a Golden Mike Award is limited to a select group of Southern California counties, namely Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, and Tulare.[1]
The awards are divided into two categories: TV and Radio. Depending on the size of the station in question, each award is divided into two categories, A and B. In the television category, Division A comprises stations with 50 or more full-time news staff members, while Division B comprises stations with fewer than 50 full-time news staff members. In the radio category, Division A is made up of stations with 6 or more full-time news staff members, and Division B is made up of stations with 5 or fewer full-time news staff members.[1]
Not every category (or division) is necessarily awarded each year. As stated on the Golden Mike Award website, "if the judges decide that no entry in a category meets the 'Standard of Excellence,' then no award is given in that category.... As a result, Golden Mike Award winners know that their work has been judged to be 'excellent', as well as the 'best'."[1]
