Emmy Awards2019: KTLA, KMEX Earn Top Newscast Nods
Newly merged local public outfit KCET/PBS SoCal led this year’s Los Angeles Area
Emmys, winning a combined seven awards on Saturday night — six of which went to KCET, the individual station leader.
Other big winners included Univision’s KMEX, Tribune’s KTLA, and Telemundo O&O KVEA, which earned three Emmys each. KVEA won the Emmy for best daily evening newscast, for its 11 p.m. telecast, while KTLA won for daytime news, for its 1 p.m. broadcast, and the morning newscast Emmy, for its “KTLA Morning News.”
The 71st Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards were handed out tonight at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center, in a ceremony produced by Bob Bain. Presenters included Kether Donohue (“You’re the Worst”), Brett Gelman (“Stranger Things”), drag icon Rhea Litre, Melissa Fumero (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), and broadcast journalist Michaela Pereira.
KCET’s wins come as the former PBS station, which went independent in 2010, has focused in recent years on local production. The station won six Emmys individually, including L.A. Local Color (for “Louis & Jazz,” a segment on “The Migrant Kitchen”); Culture/History (for “Yosemite,” a segment on “Lost LA”); Arts (for “That Far Corner: Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles,” a segment on “Artbound”); as well as wins for short promo-news/topical and music composition.
KCET and KOCE “PBS SoCal” finalized their merger last October, creating the Public Media Group of Southern California. KOCE’s win was in crime/social issues, for “Finding Home: A Foster Youth Story.”
Also of note: New local news operation Spectrum News 1 landed its first local Emmy, in the informational series (more than 50% remote) category, for “LA Stories with Giselle Fernandez.”
