NBC4 Sweeps Local Emmys for Best Newscasts

NBC4 Southern California captured seven local Emmy Awards and swept the honors for best morning, daytime and evening newscasts for the second year in a row.

It was the first time that a television station in the Los Angeles market won in all three general excellence categories for two years in a row, said Liz Korda Smith, director of the Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards.

“NBC4 has a long tradition of excellence, and our consecutive wins demonstrate the great commitment every member of our team has to making sure Southern Californians receive the news and information that matters most,” said Steve Carlston, president and general manager of NBC4 Southern California.

Along with honors for the three newscasts, NBC4 won awards for "NBC4 News at 11: The Death of Osama Bin Laden" in the news special category, and for its coverage of a gunman's massacre at a Seal Beach beauty salon in the category of live coverage of an unscheduled news event.

NBC4 received 20 nominations, more than any other outlet.

All told, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented 42 awards for stories and programs presented in 2011. The ceremony was held Saturday, Aug. 11 at the Academy's Leonard H. Goldenson auditorium in North Hollywood.
