The Torrance Community Television Awards, better known as "The Stanley's" were developed to encourage quality community programming, and to publicly recognize the tireless efforts and positive contributions of Torrance producers and volunteers.  The Stanleys were named in honor of the late Stanley E. Remelmeyer, Torrance's former City Attorney who was instrumental in the development of cable television in the City.  The Awards recognize the efforts of TCtv producers for excellence in programming, creating original video that was cablecast on Torrance Channel 28 (Time Warner and Verizon FiOS Cable System).  Through the Awards, the City introduces the public to the purpose and benefits of public access television.  The City of Torrance has provided public access to its residence since 1987.
