Ray Johnston Band: Road Diaries Eyes Award

The eight-part series followed Johnston, a cancer survivor and former Dallas Maverick point guard, as he and his band traveled across the country trying to make it in the music business.

While the documentary chronicled the band's journey, the true focus and backdrop is the uplifting, behind-the-scenes story of the band's leader, Ray Johnston, and his heroic battle with leukemia.

"Everyone at HDNet is very proud of this program and proud to be associated with Ray," said Mark Cuban, chairman and co-founder of HDNet. "This is one more example of the cable industry recognizing HDNet's expanding lineup of original programming."
