Public broadcaster Kcet, which had led all local TV stations in nominations for the this year’s Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, also wound up taking home the most (for the fifth year in a row), with nine awards. It was followed by Telemundo’s Kvea and Spectrum SportsNet, both of which landed six.

The Television Academy announced the 2021 Los Angeles Area Emmy Award winners in an in-person ceremony at its North Hollywood headquarters on Saturday. Spectrum News 1 journalist Giselle Fernández hosted this year’s awards ceremony, which was produced by Bob Bain and Bob Bain Productions.

Other big winners included Ktla-tv, which was named best morning newscast (between 4 a.m. and 11 a.m.) and evening newscast (between 7 p.m. to midnight).

As usual, all stations that enter are immediately nominated in the daily morning newscast (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.), daily daytime newscast (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Public broadcaster Kcet once again led all local TV stations in nominations for the Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, announced on Tuesday by the Television Academy. Kcet landed 23 nods this year overall, up from 20 last year. It was followed by Telemundo’s Kvea, which boasted 21 noms.

After that, with 19 nominations, was relative newcomer Spectrum News 1, the cable channel that launched in 2018 and has made waves for its enterprise reports, features and coverage of Southern California. Then came Univision’s Kmex, with 16.

Among the traditional English-language commercial broadcasters, Kabc-tv led with 12 nominations. That’s quite a change from the days when management at the ABC-owned station declined to submit Kabc in the local Emmy race.

As usual, all stations that enter are immediately nominated in the daily morning newscast (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.), daily daytime newscast (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.), and daily evening newscast (7 p.m. to 12 a.

Kcet topped Spanish-language outlet Kvea to lead the nominations for the 73rd Los Angeles Area Emmys, which the Television Academy announced this morning. The pubcaster scooped 23 noms to the Telemundo station’s 21, with Spectrum News 1 running third with 19.

Univision’s Kmex (16) and network O&o ABC7 (12) are the only others to reach double digits. See the list of noms by station here and the full list of nominees below or here.
