Sam Rubin to Receive Posthumous Honor at 76th Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards
KCET topped the list of Los Angeles TV stations with the most wins, with 10, at the 76th local Emmy Awards, handed out Saturday by the Television Academy. It was followed by KVEA and Spectrum News 1 with four each, ABC7 and CBS2/KCAL9 with three, and KTLA5 and Spectrum SportsNet with two.
One of KTLA5's two Emmys went to the station's veteran KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, who died of a heart attack in May. He was recognized for his news reporting on the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Three stations share the credit for the regularly scheduled news report across the different parts of the day: Spectrum News 1 (morning), KCAL (daytime) and KVEA (evening).
