The Television Championship is the culmination of the two monthly television competitions held during the academic year and a semifinal round for top scorers of those monthly competitions.

These five finalists submitted the top winning television reports from 174 entries received in the News and Features competitions.

During the Championship, the television finalists produced a report based on a spot assignment. Judges reviewed the work and selected the winners, who were announced at the awards ceremony on June 14.
