FOX11 News topped KCAL and KCOP by a narrow margin Saturday at the 53rd annual Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, stacking up seven wins to their respective six.
The Fox nods included wins in the L.A. Local Color, Crime and Social Issue, and News Writer, Non-News Videographer Single Camera categories. Meanwhile, KCAL maintained its winning streak, which began at last year’s kudofest when it grabbed nine statuettes.
Kudos, presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), were held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
Ed McMahon, who emceed the competish, took a moment to reminisce about the newsdays of the late 1940’s when the L.A. Emmys first began. “The 11 p.m. news began at 9 p.m. and was over by 9:15,” he said. “We would sit around the one and only TV set in the living room, just staring at the screen hoping for more.”
McMahon also joked about the weekend’s giant California’s lottery pot adding, “no matter what happens here tonight, one of us could already be a winner.”
Other winners on the night were NBC and KTLA (4 apiece), ABC (7), CBS (2) and KCET (1).
Joel Tator, who was feted with the Governors Award, was greeted via screen by a bevy of his past colleagues including Connie Chung, Steve Edwards and Sam Rubin.
Shirley Neal (Park Hill Entertainment) produced this year’s awards for the Academy. Hal Eisner was the executive producer. Presenters included Michael DeLorenzo, Debra Jo Rupp, Trevor Goddard, Vanessa Williams, Rockmond Dunbar, Ellen Cleghorne and Golden Brooks.
A one-hour show featuring highlights of the event will be broadcast on KCOP/Channel 13 on July 14, 2001 at 11 p.m.
