Producer and Director of CouryGraph Productions. "It is gratifying to know that the expertise and talent of our staff has been recognized by our peers within the industry."

Sharpe recognizes that, "It is not just his and his staff's  videography or the  engineering and delivery of the material that  make an award winning entry, so it is always nice to share the recognition  with the narrator in a news story."   "Many times the main on-screen personality is the PIO at an accident scene or a foreman at a construction site" Sharpe claims. In this instance, Matt Barnett, who narrated this call for action to find Laura Graff's Hit and Run Driver is also on the award.

About The Omni Intermedia Awards:
The Omni Awards exist to recognize outstanding media productions that engage, empower and enlighten. Patterned after the Emmy Awards, the Omni Awards committee uses a panel of three peer professionals who independently judge each entry based on a standard set of criteria for various media types across the converging fields of Film, Video, TV, Internet, Interactive Media, Animation and Audio production. The Omni Award carries with it the distinction of being chosen by industry peers as an example of excellence.

About CouryGraph Productions:
Ed Sharpe and CouryGraph Productions are the creator of KKAT-IPTV and Glendale Daily Planet. 

Glendale Daily Planet, the parent organization of KKAT-IPTV was started in 2004 as the first community journalism news site in Glendale and perhaps all of Arizona... Serving The Metro West Side of the Valley of the Sun, Glendale Daily Planet has witnessed, participated in and recorded the further rejuvenation of the downtown core, the meteoric rise of the 'Glendale Sports Empire' and the restoration of historic sections of the town.

One aspect Sharpe is most proud of is the ability to have a continuous 24/7 stream of archived footage in the player but yet, when a special event arises, have the ability to go live interrupting the pre-programmed content to cover the event. With the advent of higher speed EVDO radio cards and compact portable satellite terminals the options are limitless. See at
