Murphy. \u201cOur Communications team created a series of videos with messages that provided the latest details regarding health and safety that were presented in a clear and consistent format. We included clips with words of encouragement from myself, Mayor Steve Hofbauer, City Councilmembers and other community leaders. We also brought in medical experts from time to time to share their perspectives. These videos were very well received, and we are honored to be recognized with a WAVE award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the City\u2019s television programs are cablecast on Palmdale\u2019s Channel 27 on Spectrum cable.
