It appears that the last two Katie awards were rigged, at least according to a story by Joshua Benton in today's Dallas Morning News. Here's a link to the story:

The sad thing is that all of the money from the contest entries is probably gone, and even if the Press Club wanted to refund entry fees for the last two years, they probably would not be able to.
One wonders at the future of the Katies, and the DPC.
On a related note: Does anyone have the results from the Texas AP Broadcasters contest for this year? I understand those were just awarded.
