KCET picked up eight wins tonight at the Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, including awards for local color, culture and sports programming. KMEX followed with five wins.
KVEA’s wins included best news series and live coverage of an unscheduled news event. ABC7 took the honors for best evening newscast. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic the awards were presented without audience in front of the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in North Hollywood and livestreamed on YouTube.
Below is the complete list of winners at the 72nd Los Angeles Area Emmys, including a breakdown of wins by each outlet.
