KUED 7 Wins Overall Station Excellence Emmy
KUED 7 was honored in October as the first recipient of the Overall Station Excellence Award from the Rocky Mountain Regional Emmy Awards. The award considers a station's quality, service, diversity and commitment over the course of one year. More than 50 stations were eligible in the Rocky Mountain region.
“This is a wonderful recognition of 100-plus people pulling together each day to build an important service to the public,” says Larry Smith, general manager at KUED. “Every staff member shares the award.” The award recognizes KUED documentaries such as Stegner, Alta, Outside, and the five-part We Shall Remain series; KUED public affairs programs such as Utah NOW and special election year coverage of children's issues, Free Speech Messages; the state's first full-length Spanish language political debate; and KUED's collaborative efforts to benefit education through the We Shall Remain project. In addition, KUED Senior Producer John Howe was inducted into the Silver Circle, which recognizes individuals with 25 years or more of experience for their significant contributions to the region and the broadcast industry.
