2020 Regional Emmys thread

Recommended Posts

This is usually the time of year when markets large and small get honored with television's biggest prize, the Emmy.

 

But thanks to the coronavirus, many of this year's ceremonies are becoming virtual, with some of the winners posting their acceptance speeches on social media from their homes.

 

We start with New York; WABC won Morning and Evening Newscasts while WNBC took four:

 

The Northwest Emmys -- my home area -- saw KGW (Portland) taking Overall Excellence; they and sister stations KING and KTVB also dominated:

 

KNTV and Univision cleaned up at the Northern California Emmys (which also covers Hawaii and even Guam!); Overall Excellence went to KGO:

 

And here are the Southeast Emmy nominations; the awards, however, aren't until September 12! (hopefully they'll be livestreamed for the first time)

Los Angeles held their regional Emmys last night. [Video] / [List of winners]

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • KCET (PBS) won most awards overall (8) - e.g. LA Local Color, Entertainment Program, Arts
  • KMEX (Univison) won most among Spanish-language stations (5) - e.g. Investigative News Story, Business/Consumer News Story, Environment News Story
  • KABC won most among the Big 4 O&Os (2) - Human Interest News Story for Evergreen Cemetery Hero (+ below award)
  • KTLA won 2 - Sports Short Promo, Sports News Story
  • KCBS/KCAL won 1 (Entertainment News Story for Nipsey Hussle), KTTV won 1 (Art/Cultural/Historical News Story for retiring USC Band Director, Dr. Arthur C. Bartner)
  • Morning newscast: KMEX tied with KVEA (Telemundo) 
  • Daytime newscast: KNBC (its only win)
  • Evening newscast: KABC

Some people seemed pressed about KABC's newscast win (Twitter users can guess why).

If you want to compare, here are last year's winners. KCET led overall (6) and KMEX/KVEA led for Spanish (5), with KTLA led for English (5).

Morning and daytime were clinched by KTLA and evening was presented to KVEA.

Poor KNBC, picking up its only Emmy for Daytime Newscast; the other Investigative News Story nominee was KTTV's Bill Melugin's piece on two new sick puppy peddlers, both female (he already won last year and the previous peddler he tracked down four numerous times would finally be arrested)...though KCBS's David Goldstein could've submitted one or two stories this year.

 

But if there were Overall Excellence and News Excellence categories, KCET and KMEX would've easily won those. As for KABC taking Evening Newscast? Well, their sister stations in New York, San Francisco, and Fresno have been dominating so far this year (WABC, Morning and Evening Newscast; KGO, Overall/News Excellence; KFSN, Daytime Newscast/Medium Markets); who knows if WPVI, WLS, KTRK, and/or WTVD will continue that trend.

Now for the big boys:

 

Nominations for the 41st News and Documentary Emmys were announced this past week; PBS as usual leads with 48 nods followed by CNN (30) and HBO (27 + 107 for Primetime = 134 total). Among the broadcast networks, CBS has 17 nominations.

 

Netflix picked up 15 nods; add those to their record 160 for the Primetime awards, that's a total of 175!! Hulu, by the way, has 28 total: 26 Primetime, 2 News and Doc, while Prime Video has ZERO nominations (but 31 on the Primetime side). I'm sure that next year, Apple TV+ will have had enough documentaries for Emmy consideration.

 

In the two regional categories: Spot or Breaking News nods go to WJXT, KWEX, WLWT, WRAL, and WVLT; Investigative Report, WXIA, KSTP, KNXV, WBBM (the only O&O nominated), and WBFF.

 

The News categories will be handed out on Monday, September 21 (one day after the Primetime Awards) with the Documentary categories to follow on September 22.

OK I know this thread has low traffic, but I just wanted to share this little memento from WJLA:

Image may contain: sky, outdoor and water, text that says 'ON abc D YOUR SIDE Honored with 13 Regional Emmys INCLUDING: YUIDE Best News Anchor: Elias Best Weather Anchor: Bill Kelly Best Evening Newscast Overall Excellence- 2nd Year in Row'

It's very "graphic design is my passion" but unironically bad. The Times New Roman is just a no here.

 

This looks like it's from a Powerpoint made 20 years ago. Then again, graphic design has never ever been a strong suit at WJLA.

That's because it likely *is* being made in Powerpoint directly by the sales team, and more likely than not part of a separate one-sheet to get prospective clients on board with an ad buy - a pretty common thing across many local TV stations.

No wins for WETA or Maryland Public Television this year (the PBS stations other than KCET always fare better at regional Emmys)?

Hi, I always try to link the winners PDF/lists in the post where I show the winners. For these two: WETA did not win any, but Maryland Public Television won 8.

The 2020 Southeast Emmys were last night (9/12); WXIA/WATL remained the big winners taking Morning Newscast and News Excellence yet again among others with chief investigative reporter Brendan Keefe now upping his total Emmy haul to 105 (and maybe 106 after the national awards next week), while Overall Excellence and Daily Newscast belonged to WSB (the latter shared with Univision Atlanta on the Spanish-language side).

Winners from this year's News & Documentary Emmys:

https://theemmys.tv/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/news-41st-news-programming-winners-09-21-20.pdf

https://theemmys.tv/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/news-41st-documentary-programming-winners-09-22-20.pdf

 

PBS as usual dominated those two nights, picking up 10 total (five news, five documentary), followed by CNN with eight (seven news, one documentary) and HBO, seven (four news, three docs; add those to their 30 Primetime Emmys, that's a grand total this year of 37!); Netflix collected three.

 

CBS won four among the Big Three networks while NBC collected only one and ABC...zero. But like I said before...Prime Video and Apple TV+ should give the others a run for their money next year.
