The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences

On November 15, 1955, a luncheon meeting was arranged in New York by Ed Sullivan.This meeting was attended by fifty leaders in the television industry – broadcast executives, program producers, performing artists, directors, writers, craftsmen and various other broadcasters.

With outstanding leaders such as Walter Cronkite, Fred Allen, Charles Collingwood, Edward R. Murrow, Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, Mark Goodson and Basil Rathbone among them, the organization doubled within two weeks to become the “Committee of 100.”This high-level group was committed to the establishment of a National Television Academy.

Today, The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) is the Emmy® Awards – and much more. Nineteen different chapters with 14,000 professional members across the United States administer a full spectrum of awards and events.

The National Emmy® Awards are awarded by NATAS in five categories: Daytime, Sports, News and Documentary, Public Service and Technical Achievement and Scientific Development.To be eligible, an entry must be viewable by 51 percent or more of the nation. Special Recognition Awards, Trustees Awards and Lifetime Achievement Awards add breadth and depth to the wide-ranging NATAS awards program dedicated to excellence and career achievement.

The 19 chapters of NATAS cover the United States. Each chapter conducts its own awards program for regional television excellence. Chapter members are involved in a wide array of services and activities, including television career enhancement, community campaigns and education, scholarships, youth development, seminars and forums.

This NATAS Emmy® Almanac will also serve as the official program guide for the 2014 Daytime Emmy® Awards. I would like to thank our colleagues at the Television Academy for their cooperation in making this Emmy® event a success.

We at NATAS are proud to be associated with the FX Group in the production of this first edition of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Daytime Emmy® Almanac.

Emmy Statuette ®

Fast Facts

» Television engineer Louis MacManus created the Emmy® statuette design using an image of his wife as the model. » The Academy rejected 47 other proposals before choosing McManus’ design in 1948. » The statuette’s winged woman represents the muse of the arts, and the atom represents science. The statuette embodies the merging of art and science in the medium of television. » Academy founder Syd Cassyd originally proposed to name the statue “Ike,” the slang term for a television tube. But Ike was also the nickname of war hero and soon-to-be U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Instead, the Academy named the statue after a popular camera at the time, the “Immy.” A couple of years later, the Academy changed the name to “Emmy®” to better correspond to the female statuette. » The Academy held the first Emmy® Awards ceremony on January 25, 1949 at the Hollywood Athletic Club. Only Los Angeles programming was eligible to receive Emmy® Awards (or Immys at the time) and a total of six awards were given out. » Tickets to the first Emmy® Awards show were $5.00. Today’s highest face-value ticket is $400. » The first Emmy® ever presented was for Outstanding Television Personality. Ironically, it was presented to a puppet. Or more specifically, to ventriloquist Shirley Dinsdale for the children’s show “Judy Splinters.” » National Emmy® Awards weigh nearly seven pounds and are composed of copper, nickel, gold and silver. Regional Emmy® Awards weigh about three pounds. » National Emmy® statuettes are manufactured by Chicago-based R.S. Owens & Co., which also produces the Oscar statues. Regional Emmy® Awards are made by N.Y.-based Society Awards, which makes all the Golden Globe Awards. » NATAS will present more than 2,000 Emmy® statuettes in 2014 (certain categories award a statuette to each member of the production crew).

Welcome to the

41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards! ®

David Michaels Senior Executive Director Daytime Emmy® Awards

EMMY ALMANAC

On behalf of everyone at The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), I would like to thank you all for your enthusiasm and support in celebrating the 41st Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards.

This is a milestone year for the Daytime Emmy® Awards. NATAS is making history this year by presenting the first Spanish Language programming Emmys (in three categories). In addition to a record number of entries, we are very proud of our new Entertainment News Program category, where we have bestowed our first nominations on a talented group of entries.

Continuing to keep up with the changing face of Daytime programming we have introduced our New Approaches Drama Series category, which we know will continue to grow. Although the face of Daytime Drama is indeed changing, it is alive and well as witnessed by the increase in ratings of all the shows across the board. As we all know, there are no fans like Soap fans!

Again, this year, as always, we embrace all the Daytime Genres – Daytime Dramas, Game Shows, Talk Shows, Children’s, Animation, Culinary, Court, Lifestyle, Travel, Morning Shows, New Approaches, Promos and all the crafts that make these shows possible. We are also proud that we took the entire Daytime Emmy contest on-line this year, making the process easier and more convenient for all the participants. No more DVDs! It is always exciting when the Daytime community gathers in one room for our two wonderful Daytime Awards evenings. On behalf of Brent Stanton and Luke Smith and I, we congratulate all of our nominees, and thank all of the people at the shows who worked with us over the last six months to get everyone entered and here tonight.We would also like to give some special thanks to all of our wonderful judges who took the time to support and vote for their peers.

Special thanks to all of our presenters and thank you all for being here and for your constant support of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Daytime Emmy® Awards.

Daytime Emmy® Lifetime Achievement Award

Russell Morash the Creator of “How-To” Television

by Susan Reed

B

ack in 1962, WGBH Boston producer Russ Morash turned a camera on an unknown cookbook author and created an entirely new way of making television.

With Julia Child and “The French Chef,” Russ introduced millions of Americans to its first and still greatest culinary star and launched the “how-to” genre on public television that still captivates a nation of viewers. Russ and Julia went on to create numerous cooking classics, which continue to represent the gold standard in lifestyle programming. But that was just the opening chapter of Russ’s storied television career.

“As a brilliant creator/producer/director, Russ Morash used his passions and love for well-prepared food, gardening, home improvement and woodworking to change the way television is produced and experienced,” says Norm Abram, master carpenter for “This Old House” and host of “The New Yankee Workshop.”

“Russ always wanted to learn more himself, but most importantly, he wanted to share knowledge with others. The experts and craftspeople he featured on his many series did just that.”

Russ’s next how-to foray after “The French Chef” took him outside of WGBH’s studios, to a set of raised beds in the station’s parking lot, where Russ dragged two huge studio cameras to record the first episode of “Crockett’s Victory Garden” in 1975.

Part of Russ’s “mad genius,” says his Emmy® Award-winning cameraman Dick Holden, was to free the TV-making process from as many technical encumbrances as possible, pushing portable cameras and wireless microphones into new areas.

Who’s the go-to guy in how-to television?

We know: It’s Russell Morash, who tonight receives the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 41st Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy® Awards.

Boston University and the College of Fine Arts congratulate you, Russ, on 54 years of outstanding programming, 13 Emmy® statues, and—of course—tonight’s very special honor.

The French Chef

Thanks for being a distinguished alumnus, friend, and advisor. And thanks for turning your personal passions into such great television!

“Everything we were used to doing changed with these shows,” Holden says. “And most of what we see today began then.”

Three years after the launch of “Victory Garden,” Russ convinced WGBH to buy a dilapidated Victorian home in the Dorchester area of Boston so he could document its rehabilitation under the hammer of Norm Abram and the showmanship of Bob Vila. Russ, whose forebears were carpenters and shipwrights, conceived the idea of “This Old House” while remodeling his own home in Lexington, Mass. The first 13-week “This Old House” series set a new record for WGBH when it was broadcast locally in 1979.

The program aired nationally on PBS the following season, and has been an audience favorite ever since. For the past 35 years, “This Old House” has fueled not only the home-improvement television genre, but the entire home-improvement industry.

His remarkable success continued with the introduction of the woodworking series “The New Yankee Workshop” in 1989 and “Ask This Old House” in 2002. As with all of Russ’s series, these shows were based on the simple yet revolutionary concept of authentic information, presented clearly by real experts with a genuine passion for their work.

Russ has overseen thousands of episodes of programming and his work has inspired entire television networks.

Along the way, he has accumulated 14 national Emmy® Awards, including 11 for “Outstanding Director of a Service Show.” He has taught brigades of TV producers who followed in his footsteps. But his greatest legacy is the generations of TV viewers who value not only the expertise, work ethic, and skill of the featured craftsmen and women on his shows, but the fundamental satisfaction of seeing a job well done.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is pleased to honor Russ Morash, “the father of how-to TV,” with the Creative Arts Lifetime Achievement Award for his pioneering contributions to the television industry and for inspiring millions of Americans to “do it yourself.” EA

Daytime Emmy®-winning hair and make-up teams bring passion, dedication and camaraderie to their art form.

They’ ve Got the Look

by Michael Fairman

W

e all know who the true warriors of daytime television are … right? If you answered the men and women who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the on-screen talent look glam, sexy, realistic and dramatic, you’d be correct!

Hair and make-up teams experience a unique set of daily pressures that come with being part of a hit Monday-to-Friday daytime TV show. Because the job is often demanding, team members form a unique bond with each other. And the hardships they share become particularly gratifying when the team earns a Daytime Emmy® Award. Just ask last year’s Emmy® winners

from “The Talk” and “The Young and the Restless” (Y&R).

“It means a lot to all of us,” said “Y&R” veteran Patti Denney.

“When you get your name announced it puts to bed all the problems you experienced.” Denney started with “Y&R” in 1980 as a body make-up artist. She transitioned to make-up and went on to earn three Emmy® Awards, never losing the thrill of hearing her team’s name called. “You always scream, ‘We won!” she laughed. “One year I got up to accept the award, and I said, ‘God bless (Y&R Co-creator) Bill Bell when meant to say Eric Braeden!’ Eric still laughs about that.”

Clockwise from above: Top hair and make-up teams must possess the speed and resiliency to cope with the fast-paced, tear-filled demands of filming a daytime drama. Patti Denney prepares former L.A. Lakers player Luke Walton for his guest appearance on “The Young and the Restless.”

revealed how she handled last year’s Emmy® moment: “First I heard; ‘Speaking for ‘The Talk’ will be Ann-Marie Oliver,’ and I had no idea I was going to speak. So I channeled my inner Julie Chen and just spoke from my heart, as Julie would always say. It was such a thrill to be at the ceremonies, and to actually walk away with an Emmy® was beyond belief!”

But not everyone is so cowed by their victory. Emmy® winning hair stylist Michael Ward, who creates the many styles of “The Talk” co-host, Aisha Tyler, is not the least bit shy in sharing his Emmy good fortune. “My Emmy sits in my house next to a camera. Because 99% of the population won’t get to touch an Emmy, I tell everyone who comes to my house, ‘Pick it up! I’ll take a picture of you with it!’”

The grit behind the glamor Denney and her “Y&R” make-up team – Kathy Jones, Marlene Mason, Laura Schaffer Holmes and Robert Bolger – have collaborated for years, and in some cases decades. So what is that quality a make-up artist has to have to handle the rigors of a daytime soap?

“You have to be able to work under stress,” Denney said.

“You have to be able to correct something on the spot if the producer doesn’t like it. Ordinarily, you like to have an hour and a half with the actor to get them camera-ready, but sometimes they get stuck in traffic. That’s when you use your knowledge and experience to do the job in in a fraction of that time. For the pros, it’s about speed and accuracy.”

What about working on a dynamic daytime diva, who might be harried in the make-up chair and have 50 pages of dialog to learn that day? Denny continued: “You just have to hope your hand stays steady. Part of our job is to keep them calm and not show we might have some anxiety, as well.

You learn to be quiet when the actor needs quiet time.”

You also have to learn to accommodate a range of personalities, Denny added, pointing, as and example, to Daytime Emmy® winner and icon, the late Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor). “Now that was a woman who would let you know if she did not like something!” Denny said, laughing. “She would make comments like, ‘Are you going to leave that eyebrow like that? But there was always a feeling of love behind it. She would call us names, but she treated each of us like one of her kids. And she was hilarious! We moved a life-sized cardboard image from her dressing room to be with us. So now Jeanne looks over us everyday.”

While a daytime soap like “Y&R” will have 30 or more contract players, “The Talk” hair and make-up teams have to contend with five female co-hosts – Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler, Sara Gilbert, and Sheryl Underwood – and the rigors of a daily live show. Compounding that is the fact that episodes are often themed, such as a “Love Boat” salute, with hosts and guests dressing the part. It’s no surprise then that sometimes things don’t go quite as planned!

“Once we had Liza Minnelli on our show,” recalled Oliver.

“We had the ladies look just like Liza, with the wig and the fake eyelashes. But we had a one-minute thirty-second commercial break to put the wigs and lashes on them. Sara Gilbert went out with just one Liza Minnelli eyelash. Julie Chen had hair straggling in one place, and it was hilarious, but it was too late for us to do anything about it!”

The nature of the show requires the teams always to be on their toes.

The nature of the show, and its on- and off-camera personalities, requires the teams always to be on their toes. “Our producer John Redmann is this crazy, genius, spontaneous and fabulous guy,” said Oliver. “He’ll come in in the morning and change something last minute, then turn to the hair and make-up team and go, ‘Ok! Make it happen! Rise to the occasion people!’

That ability to respond to the moment is a critical skill set, said Ward, sharing another moment form the show: “There was an episode when Kristin Chenoweth came on. She commented that as a white girl, she was the last one to the party with getting hair extensions, so she took her extensions out … which prompted Julie Chen to take her extensions out. So then everybody but Mrs. O took their hair off! It was a hilarious moment with all of these beautiful hair styles now on the table.”

Aisha Tyler’s make-up artist, Stephanie Cozart-Burton (married to 13-time Emmy® winner Levar Burton), relates there can be some trying times when working on a busy major celeb.

“I think Aisha’s soul is Jamaican. She has like 14 jobs, and is always one step ahead of you, always planning the next thing.

It has become an art form to work on a moving target!”

“The Talk” make-up team member Jude Acala, has his own challenges getting Sharon Osbourne ready for show time: “Sometimes Sharon will come straight from the airport to the dressing room,” said Acala. “It’s not that rare for us to have to pull some tricks from our arsenal because we’re running out of time. But, our girls look bang on and consistent daily.”

“Of course we have our challenges,” said Denney, “like making a

41-year-old soap opera star look good in a hi-def close-up, or when an actor cries and the make-up and lashes start to go south. But we have gorgeous faces to work with, and we have lots of experience and some great new products to make sure that everyone always looks their best.

According to Denny, the “Y&R” team currently likes to use Make-Up Forever. “It’s nice and sheer for high definition, and if we have an actor who prefers a little more coverage, then MAC cosmetics is great for that.”

“Make-up today is more refined,” Jones added: “I think less is more in daytime make-up right now.”

Success stories So how does one gain a coveted spot as a make-up artist on a top daytime television show? You’d be surprised to find some of the humble beginnings from these Emmy® Award winners.

“I came out to L.A. from Indiana and couldn’t believe I could be paid for doing make-up,” said Cozart-Burton. “I used to do it for free. I had a job as a Playboy bunny at the club, and I was also going to school at Joe Blasco’s, so I would practice on the other bunnies. After that I got into sketch comedy, and made my career doing make-up for sitcoms. Now, to be able to do make-up this fast, and to do it live with creativity, that thrills me! I love the pressure of live TV, I always have.”

Ward’s path was more direct, although the catalyst for it is undoubtedly unique: “The diva I fell in love with as a young man was Stephanie Mills,” he said. “Then I saw my cousin, a big time Hollywood hair stylist, in a magazine, and that inspired me. So my plan after college became to go to hair school, meet Stephanie Mills and marry her. I’ve never met Stephanie Mills, but it’s been full stream ahead as a hair stylist.”

Acala worked numerous odd jobs before finding his true niche in make-up, and he is proud of his standing in his chosen profession.

“We worked our asses off to get to this place. So I think this dream job is well-deserved. I do love it, and am grateful for it.”

That enthusiasm is one common denominator of all top makeup professionals. Even after a tenure of an astounding 34 years with “Y&R,” Denney still wakes up every morning ready to create magic. “It’s the best job!” she gushes. “Everyone is an artist here. We’re all very lucky. And we recognize it, believe me.” EA Michael Fairman covers the soaps and television scene each day on his website michaelfairmansoaps.com.

Foo d for Thought Lidia Bastianich reveals her recipe for success.

by Michael Fairman

T

he number of culinary categories eligible for a Daytime Emmy® has mushroomed over the past few years. But even with multiple networks serving up a large menu of food-related fare, there are still only a handful of cooking personalities who possess that secret ingredient for television success… that easily referenced but hard-to-find, “it” factor.

The most recent entrant into the pantheon of celebrity chefs is Lidia Bastianich, who won the 2013 Outstanding Culinary Host Emmy® Award for her series, “Lidia’s Italy!” Bastianich already had become a successful chef, restaurateur and author prior to trying her hand at on-screen cooking.

And as she built her cooking empire, she never could have anticipated becoming a TV personality, too.

From her humble beginnings in Italy, to her connoisseur’s dedication in the kitchen, cooking for Lidia has always been a way of life and a way to communicate with others, particularly loved ones. That’s why she closes every episode of “Lidia’s Italy!” with; “Tutti a tavola a mangiare,” Italian for, “Everyone to the table to eat.” That passion for both the food she prepares and the people who eat it, paid off for Bastianich with her first Daytime Emmy® Award last year.

“Being acknowledged by my professional group for what I do

meant an awful lot,” she said. “It was very rewarding and, let me tell you, it carries a lot of weight.

Wherever I go, it gets mentioned.

I appreciate all of it because it just reinforces what I love to do, which is cooking and teaching.”

Lidia’s audience loves the daily dose of recipes, stories and memories that she instills into every episode of her series.

But what makes a chef a solid choice to translate well to a TV audience?

“I have to credit Julia Child,” Lidia said. “When I first watched and then met her, Julia was never about how much she knew, but that the viewers get it and that they practice. When I started my show, I said, ‘That’s what I want to do!’

“What I know as a chef has a limited life span, and it’s not about if I can build a six-story cake.

What makes a good cooking program is when you become one with the viewers, when you go into their homes and become part of their life. When people write me – ‘Lidia, I use those tips not only in your recipes, but in my cooking!’ – this makes me feel very good. If someone is going to give me a precious half hour of their time, I better deliver something.”

EMMY ALMANAC

“Lidia is the reigning queen of Italian deliciousness and represents the best of the hospitality, generosity and life-loving joy that is the hallmark of Italian gastronomy.”

- Celebrity Chef Mario Batali Speaking of Child, whose PBS series, “The French Chef with Julia Child,” set the gold standard for cooking shows that followed, Child was much more than an inspiration, she was the actual catalyst for Bastianich’s television career.

“In 1981, I opened my restaurant Felidia, where I cooked food from the 20 different regions of Italy. Julia Child and journalist Jane Beard came together to the restaurant. They were two powerful individuals, and we became friends. Julia loved my risotto and even came to my house! My opportunity came when Julia had invited me to do the ‘Master Chef’ series with her.

That’s when the producer said, ‘Lidia, you’re darn good and you communicate well; how about a show?’ And that is how it started for me! My friendship with Julia lasted until she died.”

Bastianich’s spontaneity has been her series trademark, but what may come as a surprise to many is how she maps out each episode, and how that planning actually facilitates her ad-libbing.

“Every two years I do a book, and then 52 half-hour episodes for television to go with that book,” she explains. “The episodes are based on the recipes, but with that come the stories and tips.

Once I’m taping, I have done a recipe many times, so I want to tell the audience a memory, and sometimes it’s spontaneous. I just talk to the camera – nothing scripted and no prompter.”

With so many cable channels and program options for television viewers, and with the influx of culinary programming, why does Lidia thinks these types of shows are a hot commodity right now?

“I think there is a need out there for humanity. We are isolated by all of these electronics and eating on the run, in the car,” Lidia said.

“Electronics are not going away, but I think people are looking for some parallel that makes life livable and human. Food meets that

need because it’s nourishing on many levels – it’s about socializing, communicating passion, loving somebody, and all of that.

“So the types of shows that help people vicariously live a different way are important. Look what Anthony Bourdain is doing with his series traveling all over the world, and experiencing different cultures. It’s interesting I want to know what is being eaten in Laos. And the language of food is universal.

People can relate when you say it’s sour or it’s crunchy!”

In addition to Bourdain, Bastianich admires celebrity chefs Rick Bayless and Mario Batali, who is also a business partner of hers. And when it comes to culinary shows, one stands out as her guilty cooking pleasure: “Of all the competition shows, I like ‘Chopped,’ Lidia admits. “There is a uniqueness of surprise to it.

They are giving out challenges, and how they are overcome is intriguing, such as incorporating a strawberry candy, or Jell-O into a pork chop. I judge with their judges, then compare myself with them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I do not.”

That type of candor and down-to-earth personality has helped Bastianich become a star in the world of cooking. And true to her roots, she treasures the decades of work that enabled her to become an “overnight sensation” and she revels in every aspect of her unexpected but much appreciated pop-culture celebrity.

“When people come up to me in the restaurant or on the street and go, ‘Can I give you a hug?,’ I generally love it,” Lidia said. “Then they ask me for advice. I love the closeness. It’s a beautiful relationship. It has given me the gift of loving what I do. I have a good business where I can live well, with a nice home to share with a good family. And, I get recognition like an Emmy® award? What more can I ask out of life?” EA

T

he daytime talk show has been a popular genre for so long it has become synonymous with afternoon television.

Over the years, talk shows have allowed viewers an upclose look at pop culture’s hottest celebrities, introduced heart-tugging true-life stories, tackled the social issues of our time and just provided fun entertainment. Daytime “talkers” that

have delivered these attributes and dominated their times include “Donahue,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Sally Jessy Raphael,” “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The View” and “Live With Regis and Kelly.”

Hoping to add new names to this pantheon, networks and cable channels continue to rollout new “talkers” in record numbers.

Some catch fire with an audience. But many more just fizzle out.

One show that continues to draw heat with critics and audiences alike is CBS’ “The Talk.” Now in its fourth season, the show is in the running again for an Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment Emmy® Award. And, for the first time the show’s co-hosts – Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler, Sara Gilbert, and Sheryl Underwood – garnered a nomination in the Outstanding Talk Show Host category.

So how does a highly regarded daily live talk show, which focuses on newsworthy current events, pop culture topics of the day, entertainment and special guests, and has five distinct and successful women with engaging personalities as the face of their franchise, make it to the air, grind it out five days a week, and yet make it all look so effortless? It all starts with John Redmann, executive producer of “The Talk.”

“I get up at 4:30 a.m.,” Redmann said. “I go to the gym for an hour and get my head cleared up, then see what people are talking about on TV. At 7:15, I meet with my news team. We pull articles and clips and figure out that day’s topics.” Redmann’s next step is the all-important “8 A.M. Meeting” with the show’s on-air talent.

“People actually start trickling in around 8:20ish,” laughs Chen. “That’s when John tells us what we’re going to be discussing to start the show. It could be anything from the latest Beyonce-Jay-Z story to the Donald Sterling-L.A. Clippers flap.”

According to Redmann, his directives usually have to compete with the “ladies gossiping with each other,” so much so that they

often don’t want to leave.

“John uses this line to clear the room; ‘If anyone needs hair and make-up, not that I’m saying you do, now would be a good time,’” reveals Chen. “Typically, I stay behind with John and the writer, and we write the show.”

Next, a different producer meets individually with each co-host to give and get their thoughts on the topics of the day. Then the producers compare notes and update Chen, who is the main moderator of the show. At 10:15, the cast and crew, including the director, stage managers and segment producers convene for a quick and final read-through of the show.

“That’s when we all try to get in lock-step with each other,” Chen said. “It’s when a producer will tell Sharon, ‘you’re going to be cooking with Chef Scott Conant, and Sheryl, you’re going to cut the vegetables, and, Julie, you’re going to do this...’ The meeting gives everyone on the team a sense of how things should happen in theory.”

Then “The Talk” goes live at 11 a.m. on the West Coast and 2 p.m. on the East Coast.

“There are days when we’re going live all stressed because there’s nothing in the news, and we’re sure the show’s going to be so boring,” Redman said, “But then something will happen with Sharon; like the time TMZ reported a fire at her house and played the 911 tape. And Sharon’s like, ‘Oh, Howard Stern sent me a candle and it set the house on fire.’ Or Sharon might get into a feud with somebody or something may happen with her daughter Kelly, or her son. I wonder sometimes how one person can have so much drama in their lives.”

So when did The Talk finally find its groove to separate it from the daytime talker pack?

“When the show first started it was mommy-centric,” Redmann said. “But now we’re so much more than that.

We’ve added a lot more humor. And because we don’t get too political, the ladies are never very divisive.

They respect each others opinion.”

“It’s because we don’t deal in social issues,” Osbourne repeats. A laughing Tyler adds: “Yeah, we don’t really talk about anything important.”

Gilbert, who created “The Talk” and serves as co-host believes a personal code of conduct helps keeps the show friendly, even when things get “interesting.” “I opt out of the show conversation if I know I’m going to hurt somebody’s feelings or say something that somebody told me in confidence.”

For Chen, the addition of Tyler as the fifth co-host helped set the show’s current chemistry. “You know when you put that last piece of the puzzle in and it’s complete?” she Top: The fully costumed hostesses interview Gavin MacLeod, who played Captain Merrill Stubing on the iconic ‘80s sitcom “The Love Boat,” during a reunion show that featured all the major characters/actors from the show.

Tyler returns the complement: “It’s nice to be with other women shared by all five co-hosts. “After stars visit ‘The Talk’ they always say, ‘We can’t believe how nice the ladies were,’” he said. “Olivia who are so accomplished. We all have busy and full lives outside of this show, which I think makes everybody more interesting when Newton-John was here doing press for her Las Vegas show, and the hosts surprised her by dressing up as her iconic looks, with Julie they come to the table. That’s why the show works so well.” dressed up as Sandy from Grease. When it was over, Olivia said, ‘I “These are really smart women on this show” adds co-host Underwood. “And they all have a great sense of humor. Everybody’s have done every show, but this was the best experience I’ve had.’

That means a lot to us. We want to make people feel comfortable, game to use comedy to make the show better… whether it’s a and that they’re going to be supported and respected.” water gag, or a tooth knocked out, or rice all over the place.”

And that good will has certainly been returned by a viewing Underwood went on to recall the time she was an unwitting audience whose size and engagement with the show continues participant in a sight gag pulled off at her expense. “I was saying to grow.

There was “We’re going on our fifth year, and it’s amazing,” Gilbert said. so much water. I had never experienced anything like it.”

THE NATAS

Chicago/Midwest Chapter Who We Are

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter was founded in 1958 after an expansion call by then National President, Ed Sullivan. The chapter is one of the largest and most senior local chapters in the country, with a proud history of innovation and excellence in the field of broadcast television and beyond. Its members represent all sectors of the industry and hail from markets in portions of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Awards

The Chapter annually hosts the Chicago/Midwest Emmy® Award ceremony for more than 50 television stations and production entities in its region. The 2014 ceremony marks the chapter’s 56th year presenting Emmy® Awards.

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter’s 2013 Emmy® Awards were hosted by TV personality Jerry Springer (pictured bottom-left with chapter board member Tom Schnecke). The evening’s many highlights included the announcement of the 2013 high school Crystal Pillar winners (above) and Sarah Moshman and Dana Michelle Cook (left) winning Emmy® Awards for their short documentary “Growing Up Strong: Girls on the Run.” Moschman, daughter of producer Harvey Moshman, is a second-generation Emmy® winner.

The 2013 event was hosted by Jerry Springer, a homecoming of sorts for the longtime TV talk show host and personality. Springer produced his show in Chicago for many years before moving production to the East Coast. The evening’s highlights included a special segment dedicated to the late Roger Ebert, presented by “Siskel & Ebert” producer Thea Flaum and accepted by Ebert’s widow, Chaz.

In 2013, the chapter also inducted seven legendary journalists into the Chicago Silver Circle, and seven luminaries into the Milwaukee Silver Circle.

The Silver Circle was established to recognize and honor outstanding individuals who have devoted 25 years or more to the television industry and who have either spent their formative career years in Chicago or Milwaukee, or made significant contributions to local broadcasting.

The 2014 Silver Circle Chicago inductees include the WBBM-TV studio crew who broadcast the First Presidential Debate between Richard Nixon and John Kennedy on September 26, 1960.

The Future

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter is dedicated to educating and helping provide resources for the next generation of journalists. Since the establishment of its scholarship program in the mid 1990s, the chapter has awarded more than $325,000 in scholarships to promising high school seniors, college seniors and graduate students pursuing careers in broadcast journalism.

In 2013, the chapter awarded five college scholarships of $4,000 each, and four high school scholarships of $2,500 each. Chapter members support the program by either funding individual scholarships or contributing to the chapter’s scholarship fund. Past scholarship recipients include NBC network correspondent Peter Alexander.

Each year, the chapter also recognizes outstanding achievements in high school student production through its Crystal Pillar Award. The award is designed to provide an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence by those studying media and journalism. The Chicago/Midwest Chapter recognizes all college student production winners at its annual Emmy® Award ceremony.

THE NATAS

Heartland Chapter Looking Back

In June 1986, the Heartland Chapter became the 17th chapter of NATAS and kicked off nearly 30 years of recognizing excellence in television and media production. The Heartland Chapter is NATAS’ largest geographic chapter. It consists of 11 DMAs in five states: Denver, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita/Hutchinson, Omaha, Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Lincoln/HastingsKearney, Topeka, Grand Junction/Montrose, Cheyenne/Scottsbluff and North Platte.

The Heartland Chapter’s board includes representatives from all areas of broadcast, media and production, both affiliated and independent.

The chapter proudly represents 800 members, and has inducted 57 of its members into the Silver Circle and five members into the Gold Circle.

The Heartland Chapter is the only chapter to hold two simultaneous Emmy® Award galas: one in Denver (above and below left), the other in Oklahoma City (below).

Where We Are Today

This year marks a milestone in the history of the Heartland Chapter.

As of 2014, the chapter can boast a record number of members (more than 14% growth over last year), and a record number of regional Emmy® entries (more than 27% over last year). The chapter credits its remarkable growth not only to the strength of the Emmy® brand, but also the work of its board members in reaching out to include all of the markets within its large geographic region.

With an original market span that included most of eight states, the Heartland Chapter has twice been called upon to give up area and membership to enable the formation of other chapters. The chapter’s legacy now includes the original impetus for the great things subsequently achieved by both the Upper Midwest and Lone Star chapters of NATAS. Simultaneously, the Heartland Chapter has enjoyed its own success, returning to membership

levels not seen since its eight-state days. Truly, a rising tide raises all boats.

The Heartland Chapter is also one of the only chapters to hold two concurrent annual Emmy® galas: one in Denver and the other in Oklahoma City. Both ceremonies are coordinated to the second, ensuring that winner announcements are timed simultaneously across two time zones to a combined audience of 500 attendees.

Building for the Future

As it looks to the future, the Heartland Chapter is excited to continue its role as an organization that enjoys pushing the envelope to expand the ways it serves its members. NATAS is an organization dedicated to recognizing excellence, and the Heartland Chapter is committed to its role in that process as a frontrunner that leads by example.

History

In June 2002, the NATAS Board of Trustees unanimously approved the formation of the Lone Star Chapter in Texas.

In the very successful 11 years since, the chapter has grown to become one of the largest in the country. The Lone Star Chapter serves all 19 television markets in Texas, and includes members from TV-related fields such as news and non-news broadcasting, production, post production, education, advertising and public relations.

Based in Dallas/Fort Worth, the Lone Star Chapter is dedicated to becoming the primary avenue to connect professionals and students in Texas’ television broadcast-related fields with networking and career-development opportunities. The chapter also is committed to encouraging and recognizing high levels of professional achievement through the annual presentation of the prestigious regional Emmy® Awards.

In addition to the coveted Emmy Awards, the Lone Star Chapter proudly presents the Excellence in My Market Awards (EMMA). This series of awards recognizes television excellence produced in markets ranging in size from Harlingen/Weslaco/Brownsville/McAllen (#87) to Victoria, Texas (#204). ®

Lower Great Lakes Chapter The Lower Great Lakes Chapter of NATAS was chartered on Feb. 10, 1969, and originally named the Cleveland Chapter.

The chapter has grown both in membership and geographic area throughout it 45-year history. As it expanded to encompass an area from Erie, Penn., to Indianapolis, Ind., the chapter’s leadership elected to update its name to the more appropriate Lower Great Lakes Chapter.

Board of Governors

The Board of Governors of the Lower Great Lakes Chapter is composed of professionals from “traditional” television broadcasting stations, all-sports channels, cable television, public broadcasting, the world of freelance, education and marketing. This Board serves the chapter’s 650 members by promoting high standards in television professionalism and recognizing excellence in video and multi-media production. The board’s success is evident in the fact that, in 2014, the Lower Great Lakes Chapter set records for both membership and number of entries for its regional Emmy® Awards.

Partnerships

The chapter works to expand its offerings by reaching out to other like-minded professional organizations. As a result, the chapter regularly co-sponsors educational and networking events that provide diverse benefits to its membership.

Education

In addition to providing regional Emmy® Awards, the chapter promotes growth and achievement in the broadcast industry by awarding scholarships to eligible college and high school students. In 2013, veteran Cleveland newscaster Wilma Smith retired and her station bestowed $10,000 to the chapter to sponsor a scholarship in her name.

Events

The chapter’s marquee event in 2014 was its 45th annual Lower Great Lakes Regional Emmy® Awards. The gala was held on June 7, in the grand ballroom of the new Cleveland Convention Center in downtown Cleveland.

In addition to presenting Emmy® Awards in numerous categories, the chapter has added the prestigious Gold Circle and Silver Circle awards to its annual ceremony. The chapter also presents its President’s Award to recognize broadcast stations that have serviced the region’s communities for more than 60 years.

In 2015, the chapter’s 46th Emmy® Awards will return to Indianapolis, Ind. Bankers Life Field House, home of the Indianapolis Pacers will serve as the location for the gala. In 2012, the awards ceremony set an attendance record when it was hosted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

he 4K format being marketed to consumers today may not match up to the 4K standard originally defined for the digital cinema environment, with the former being 3840x2160 pixels and the latter being 4096x2160 pixels, but it does offer a significant fourfold increase in resolution compared with today’s 1080p HDTV format. This increase in resolution has dominated development and marketing of new display technology, but higher resolutions represent just one element of the ultra high definition television (UHDTV) standard, which holds much greater promise for enriching the viewing experience.

As defined in ITU Recommendation BT.2020 and SMPTE ST 2036-1, true UHDTV addresses not only higher resolutions (4k and 8k), but also higher frame rates and bit depths, with a broader color space. Ironically, of all these characteristics, higher resolution offers the lowest perceivable impact for viewers positioned more than a couple of yards from the screen. At this distance, the added pixels simply don’t make a difference.

With higher frame rates (the number pictures shown, typically per second) of up to 120 frames per second (fps), compared with the current standard of 50 or 60 fps, UHDTV is capable of providing much smoother movement and better detail during

camera pans. This improvement adds particular value to sports content. During coverage of a soccer game, with the ball shot on goal from the left to right side of the screen, a low frame rate can cause the ball to shudder as it moves across the screen. A higher frame rate eliminates this issue, enabling the display of that ball as a smoothly moving element. Because this difference remains perceptible at up to six times the picture height, higher frame rate can add significant value for the consumer.

Making UHDTV Possible

The increase in resolution associated with UHDTV (UHD-1 at 4k or UHD-2 at 8k) can yield up to 16 times the pixels of HDTV, and increases in frame rate and dynamic range further boost the potential data rate. Thus, establishing sufficiently robust studioproduction infrastructure is among the primary prerequisites of successful UHDTV rollout and adoption. The UHDTV production infrastructure will require not only new cameras, but also new real-time studio interfaces and, ideally, a move toward networked Resolution comparison: standard-def to 8K UHD media production using 10, 40, or 100 GB network technologies.

4320 The UHDTV distribution chain likewise must accommodate significantly higher bit rates, and this makes better compression critical. Delivery from the broadcaster or cable operator to the home likely will require the embrace of the new HEVC encoding format (and hardware-based HEVC-capable encoder/decoder systems), 2160 4K UHD which would enable the minimum of 15 Mbps that would be necessary for UHDTV or the 30 Mbps more ideal for sports coverage.

1080 FHD Though not directly associated with UHDTV, developments in 576 or 480 SD immersive audio – such as object-oriented audio systems – will over 0 time play a keen role in further enhancing the viewing experience. As with many other developments, such advances are under way in the Defining a much higher bit depth (the number of bits used for cinema environment, and in-home applications are sure to follow. each color component of a single pixel) of 10 or even 12 bits, All of these advances will be driven not by technology, but by the compared with the 8 bits specified in the HDTV standard, UHDTV strong business case for UHDTV – the added value it provides to allows for greater dynamic, color precision, as well as expression the consumer.

higher frame rate and dynamic range. Japan’s NHK is among the broadcasters breaking new ground in this area. NHK demonstrated a prototype 4K production model during the 2012 Winter Games in Sochi, and the forward-thinking broadcaster will produce true UHDTV content this year for its soccer coverage from Rio de Janiero. The network plans to launch a 4K channel this year; put an 8K test channel on air in 2016; increase frame rates by 2018; and be prepared, by 2020, to offer a true UHDTV service.

Korea also is making a serious move into 4K, exploring delivery of 4K services over terrestrial links. This kind of progress, along with continued development of advanced spectrum modulation technologies, presents the possibility that the broadcast spectrum can be used effectively to offer UHDTV over-the-air (OTA) to the home.

While broadcasters appear to be paving the way toward UHDTV, it’s important not to underestimate the influence of newer players in the content delivery space. Though companies such as Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon aren’t engaged in live transmission, they do understand that 4K content (movies, for the most part) can add value to their portfolio and help them to gain new subscribers.

As work already in progress suggests, improvements in dynamic range probably will be the first step – beyond resolution – toward true UHDTV. Several proposals, such as Dolby’s Vision system (for integration into HD and UHD displays), are already on the market, and there has been a great deal of discussion across SMPTE, ITU, and other forums responsible for distribution to the home. This is an appealing area of focus because it provides the most latitude in tuning and managing bit rates.

Higher frame rates will follow, particularly in the realm of sports broadcasting. It’s possible that HD signals will be enhanced with higher frame rates as part of advanced HD services, either streaming or distributed live to the home. While this would not be a true UHDTV signal, a boost up to 100 Hz could allow providers to improve video quality – and value to their customers – while keeping bit rates under control.

to consumers deserve the attention not only of standards bodies worldwide, who must join forces and share their roadmaps for the format, but also of platform and network operators, the professional production industry, and consumers. All of these players must be at the table if an end-to-end UHD distribution chain – whether streaming, satellite, or OTA – is to become a reality.

The fact of the matter is that true UHD is a long-term goal. Many broadcasters have small budgets, and those limited resources are currently focused on finalizing the HD shift and on establishing trimedia operations (combining TV Radio and Online) – taking an integrated approach to radio, broadcast, online, and streaming media. Though the move toward UHDTV will take an extended effort, activity across the industry is looking very promising.

Working alongside groups including the EBU, DVB, ATSC, CEA, ITU, and ARIB, SMPTE is well-positioned to play a global leadership role in this process. The Society has just conducted an intensive study on the UHDTV chain and the requirements of UHD production infrastructure, other key standards bodies are examining the distribution side. While good progress is being made, much remains to be done on both the business and development side.

That said, it is compelling content that drives consumer demand, and no amount of technical progress will keep viewers watching if UHD content is not quality content. Many directors of photography are already accustomed to working with 4K’s higher pixel count, and many are eager to take advantage of new tools and educational opportunities to learn how to make the most of higher dynamic range and frame rates. When all of these things come together, UHD will become much more than a marketing claim; it will represent true added value for the consumer.

t’s an exciting time to be a part of the motion imaging business, and an even more exciting time to be a cinema buff. With ultrahigh-definition (UHD) technologies becoming a reality, we’re entering an age of digital imaging that will not only change our viewing expectations for television, but also has the potential to re-invent motion imaging production – bringing new levels of realism and excitement to the movie-watching experience.

For most people, the most familiar aspect of UHD is the 4k resolution it offers. (UHD does also include 8k video, but it’s less prevalent.) A picture resolution of 4k translates to four times that of 1080p Full HD, or eight million pixels compared with two million pixels. While this increase in resolution can produce a significant improvement in video quality, there are other critical aspects – namely color space (dynamic range)

and frame rate – of UHD that many experts would argue play an equally or more important role in providing a compelling visual product. Together, the trio of resolution, dynamic range, and frame rate often are said to yield “more, faster, and better pixels.”

Currently, the world of motion imaging is moving away from a narrow focus on 4k resolution and turning more attention on the concept of high dynamic range (HDR) motion images. Also an element of UHD, this technology enables digital imaging cameras to capture images with highly realistic qualities, such as the blackest blacks, the deepest shadows, and the true appearance of elements such as fire and water. HDR technology enables the camera to push the Popular animated children’s shows like “Doc McStuffins” and “Sofia the First” may mark the end of an era, as ultra exposure significantly longer (up to high def and other technologies completely transform animated programming as we know (see) it today.

team can be assured that increased pixel counts and dynamic range are balanced to avoid unpleasant flicker or perceived strobing effects may affect the viewing experience.

With 4K shooting now becoming commonplace and a growing number of facilities already equipped to manage it, the real resource hit of 4K resolution and/or HDR is coming not in capture or post-production. Instead, it’s the visual effects (VFX) that give such a thrill to the audience and make a good movie even more exciting. VFX already places a large burden on the resources of many productions, so the shift to more, better, and faster pixels can quickly become costly in terms of both time and money.

For these technical and creative investments to pay off in the form of a premium viewing experience, theaters must be working with the appropriate projector technology. In the coming years, we anticipate that theater owners will look to investing in laser projection systems. It is possible that over the next few years – as the production pipeline is defined and feature-length HDR releases are taken through to completion – we will see a slow rollout of HDR pictures.

Currently, as testing continues within studios and at cinemas and as new productions get off the ground, a SMPTE study group is looking at the standards that will be required to

create and support this new ecosystem. SMPTE has a study group that has released its report on UHD to the public.

This highlights many of the issues touched on in this article.

The report may be accessed at: smpte.org/uhdtv-report.

The display technology exists to enable home viewing of HDR television and movies. However, bandwidth constraints are a limiting factor for live HDR broadcasts to the home.

Nevertheless, broadcasters and display manufacturers understand that the HD market is pretty well saturated and that not just more, but better pixels will be necessary to push ahead to the next quality level. HDR is a critical step in this process.

Though the Japanese market is making significant headway in this area, markets everywhere still need to find a practical and economical approach for bringing HDR to the home.

Another incredible new innovation in the cinematography world is the adoption of computational camera systems that do away with traditional focus and green-screen capture by using multiple small cameras (also known as plenoptic lenses). A cinematographer will still light, frame, and shoot the set, and image characteristics such as focus, exposure, color, and motion blur can still be previewed on set. However, the images themselves are not fixed until they’re rendered later in postproduction using computational algorithms.

In addition to reducing the time required for setup and shooting, computational camera systems could eliminate the need for a green screen, simplify and improve VFX work, and offer new options for focus, depth maps, dynamic range and increased resolution.

How do HDR and computational cinematography affect the aesthetic of motion images? Their use is like the addition of watercolors and pastels to a palette that before offered only oil paints. Different artists will do different things with these tools.

Lenses, lighting, costumes, and makeup once were the primary tools of production. Now, innovative lighting techniques and camera technologies are opening up many exciting and limitless opportunities for artists to tell stories in different ways.

The new generation of creatives in both broadcast and cinema enjoy a freedom and fearlessness in using advanced digital tools in innovative and interesting ways. With camera improvements being incorporated into handheld consumer devices all the time, a much broader array of potential filmmakers has the means to capture and create truly astounding images. EA Howard Lukk is a SMPTE standards director and vice president of production technology at The Walt Disney Studios.

GEORGIA TRENDING UP FOR TELEVISION MUSIC PRODUCTION Of the leading centers for film and TV music – Los Angeles has the major studios, Nashville has branded itself “Music City,” New York has news and late night, but Georgia, and specifically greater Atlanta, is only beginning to receive its due as an entertainment music center. The region’s highprofile facilities include Tyler Perry Studios, Turner, CNN, Cox, UPtv (formerly Gospel Music Channel) and Screen Gems. In addition, Pinewood Studios is building out 500,000 square feet of sound stages, workshop and production offices to capitalize on the fact that AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the most-watched drama series in basic cable history, is filmed in Georgia.

Complementing this abundance of leading-edge recording and post facilities is a rich music tradition that has cultivated world-class talent in all music genres. That talent pool, coupled with a healthy 30% tax credit for entertainment, has created a vibrant environment for TV music production.

“Georgia is well-positioned for helping TV studios do a great deal more here,” says Tammy Hurt, co-president of Georgia Music Partners, a nonprofit advocacy organization. Hurt, whose company Placement Music provided FOX Sports with the orchestral score for its Super Bowl broadcast, goes on to say: “Incentives are great to have, but no one is going to come here for music production unless they know they can get exactly what they need. Georgia has GRAMMY® award-winning artists in every category, facilities and producers, engineers and businesses who want to provide the soundtrack for the TV projects filmed in the State.”

According to Mala Sharma, assistant vice president of City National Bank and copresident of Georgia Music Partners, recording projects generally run 20% to 30% less in Georgia compared to California and New York, and provide a compelling argument to shift productions to the state.

Cloud Computing:

The future of this technology is anything but cloudy T

by Richard Welsh

elevision, computers and the internet have been on a collision course since they first collectively occupied our time and imagination. With the advent of “the cloud,” that merger may have begun in earnest.

As with most technological revolutions, the move to the cloud has more closely resembled a slow boil than a paradigm-shifting explosion. Of course, “slow” is a relative term. It didn’t take that long for Facebook users to store more than 400 billion photos (and counting) in the cloud. Likewise, file-sharing service Dropbox didn’t exist at the start of 2007 yet today boasts 300 million users (and counting).

In the television industry, the massive storage demands of high definition video and the computerization of most production technologies paved the way for what is becoming a full-scale adoption of cloud technologies. Today, rapid advances are being enabled by the huge computing infrastructure provided by such familiar names as Amazon, Microsoft, IBM and Google.

It all begs the questions: What is the experience now? Why the shift to cloud? What are the benefits to the consumer and what can we expect in the future?

Clouds in motion The huge growth of content consumption via connected devices has driven content delivery services to require systems with more advanced capability in order to perform under greater capacity.

EMMY ALMANAC

It may be argued here that cloud has had the largest impact on media. From Smart TV’s to smart phones, and everything in between, the consumption of content on demand with only the need for reasonable Internet access is transforming the entertainment industry.

This is nothing new of course, the music industry famously and painfully went through this same transformation years ago. However, the technical requirements for delivering acceptable quality video are much greater than audio and this has held back the development of Internet-delivered TV and movies just enough to give the industry chance to shape the change rather than suffer it. The cloud alone is not the only driver here -- high-speed Internet connectivity in the home, 4G LTE mobile technology, along with advances in the processing power of devices have all converged to enable the development of online distribution of video.

A survey of key markets by Ericsson in August 2013 found 72% of respondents used their mobile devices weekly for viewing video, 42% while on the move. While televisions and home computers are still getting the majority of eyeball time, this balance is shifting quickly. As “Over The Top” (OTT) services are embraced by traditional broadcasters, they become even more disruptive in their ability to adapt to such advances as Ultra High Definition (UHD or 4K), next-generation surround sound, or augmented reality where media occupies virtual space in the real world via mobile or eyewear, such as Google Glass.

In order to handle the breadth and depth of interaction with

content requires a new model of scalable distribution and flexible processes that cloud is able to deliver.

sophisticated 3D mixing techniques have been developed that use audio “objects” moving around the room from speaker to speaker.

Mid-Atlantic Chapter History

In 1981, NATAS chartered the Philadelphia Chapter. The chapter grew and was eventually renamed the MidAtlantic Chapter to reflect more clearly its geographic constituency. Today, the organization’s 650 members hail from an area that encompasses most of Pennsylvania, as well as parts of New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and West Virginia. The chapter’s first Emmy® Awards ceremony in 1983 bestowed awards in 26 categories, a fraction of the 74 category awards it presented at its 2014 ceremony. In honor of its roots, the chapter holds its annual Emmy® Gala at a venue in Philadelphia, Pa.

Board of Governors Award

The Mid-Atlantic Chapter is proud of its deep talent pool. Many stations can point to veteran professionals who have become legendary in their markets or gone on to national fame. Young journalists entering the region work with, and learn from, the best. As a result, the chapter enjoys many choices for its annual Board of Governors Award, presented to a broadcaster who has made significant contributions to the region. Past recipients include Fred Rogers, Steve Capus, Myron Cope, John Facenda, Eleanor Schano, Larry Kane, Harry Kalas, Patrice King Brown, Joe DeNardo and Marciarose Shestack.

Outreach and Student Programs Upholding its commitment to foster and support young journalists, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter holds annual awards competitions for both high school and college/university students. The chapter also bestows scholarships each year to deserving teens and young adults. In addition, the chapter organizes well-attended public events, including informative seminars with titles like “Meet The News Directors” and “How To Get Your First Job In Television.”

More than a dozen schools from Tennessee and North Carolina attended the chapter’s Student Awards ceremony.

Midsouth Regional Student Awards

For the past 12 years, the chapter has presented Student Awards to encourage the pursuit of excellence in video production and focus public attention on outstanding achievements produced by high school students.

Participating schools receive a crystal pillar, teachers receive copies of the winning videos, and students receive certificates. The entries are scored on the same criteria as the professional awards – content, creativity and execution. In their 12-year history, the awards have recognized more than 200 projects and 500 students. Many of these students have gone on to serve as volunteers at the Emmy® Awards, and some have earned Emmy® Awards themselves. The Student Awards Ceremony also serves as a platform for chapter members to conduct tutorials. Recent talks have included such titles as “Best Practices in News Gathering” presented by The Associated Press, “The Use of Music In Storytelling,” “Editorial for Animation: Post Production, Pixar-Style,” “The Latest from ProTools,” “Video Triage: Finding your Focus,” and “Plotting Your Career in Television News,” presented by four Nashville news directors.

Rose Hall were a Sports Emmy® Awards distinguished group of sports figures and television personalities including Al Leiter and Harold Reynolds (studio analysts, “MLB Tonight,” MLB Network); Ron Darling (analyst, tbs); Joe Buck (play by play announcer, Fox Sports) and Michael Strahan, (studio analyst, “Fox NFL Sunday”); Michael Irvin (studio analyst, NFL Network); Hannah Storm (studio host, ESPN); Gary Danielson (event analyst, “SEC on CBS”); David Feherty (host & golf analyst, Golf Channel & CBS); Jim Lampley (Host, “HBO Boxing”); Claudio Reyna (former U.S. Men’s Soccer Team Captain); and Julius Erving, “Dr. J” (former NBA All-Star and Hall of Fame member).

Highlighting the ceremony was the Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to industry innovator Ted Turner. Turner was honored in recognition of a distinguished national and international sports career that includes founding the Goodwill Games, creation of the “superstation” and ownership of the Atlanta Braves and Hawks. “Boy, it was a lot of fun, too,” Turner recalled, “I just did it for the sense of adventure.”

Beyond his work in television, Turner’s history of success ranges from being the winning skipper for the USA in the America’s Cup yacht races, to giving a billion dollars to the United Nations, to his successful chain of restaurants. “I used to feed people’s desire for news and entertainment,” said Turner. “Now I feed their desire for food!”

In the programming categories, FOX’s baseball coverage was the winner in both the Outstanding Live Sports Special (The 109th World Series) and the Outstanding Playoff Coverage (The 2013 American League Championship Series) categories.

NBC’s Sunday Night Football won in the Outstanding Live Sports Series for the sixth-straight year. ESPN’s “30 for 30” won its first-ever Emmy® award in the Outstanding Sports Documentary Series category while NBA-TV’s “The Doctor” took the Sports Documentary Emmy®Award.

The first-ever Emmy® for Spanish-language programming was won by Telemundo for its coverage of “Rumbo Al Mundial,” a World Cup soccer qualifying game between Mexico and Costa Rica. ESPN dominated in the Spanish Studio Show category, thanks to a tie between “Nación ESPN” and “SportsCenter.” Andres Cantor, the soccer play-by-play man with the signature call of “Gooooollll,” was named Outstanding On-Air Sports Personality in Spanish.

Sports programming was eligible for the Emmy® Award in the Prime Time Emmy® Awards prior to 1979, when the Sports categories were first presented in a separate ceremony.

Only 12 Emmy® Awards were awarded that year; currently the Sports awards celebrate 39 categories consisting of sports programming, sports talent and the craft awards including editing, writing and graphic design.

Sports Emmy® Lifetime Achievement Award

Ted Turner He envisioned the future of sports television, then went out and created it.

by Ed Sherman

T

hey all said this young, brash guy from Atlanta was “crazy.” Ted Turner had to be off-kilter to air Atlanta Braves games across the country on something he dubbed a “Superstation” back in the mid-70s. Who wants to watch that much baseball, especially a team that was floundering back then? Was his grand scheme doomed to fail? Looking back 40 years later, Turner enjoys yet another in a series of last laughs.

“Sure, people thought I was crazy,” Turner said. “But, I knew it would help our ratings, and I was right. Once the Braves became known as ‘America’s Team,’ my critics stopped calling me ‘crazy.’”

Turner has long since been hailed as a visionary for changing the landscape of sports television. His move in airing Atlanta baseball and basketball games on WTBS was a forerunner for ESPN and other sports cable networks, national and local, serving fans a 24/7 menu of games, sports news, talk and analysis.

Turner’s impact makes him a worthy recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In the announcement, NATAS chairman Malachy Wienges said, “The world of sports and news television has been forever changed by the vision of this one man.”

Indeed, when Turner’s name was mentioned, CBS Chairman Sean McManus, who served on the selection committee, was

Turner has won a World Series trophy with the Atlanta Braves (left) and an America’s Cup as the skipper of the Courageous. Today, his love of the outdoors and desire to conserve its beauty has made him America’s No. 2 private landowner.

among those who assumed he already had been bestowed the Lifetime honor.

“The initial thought we had was, ‘Why didn’t we think of this before?” McManus said. “When his name was brought up, it was instantaneous, of course. Look at what he’s done in the world of sports. It was a no brainer.”

McManus then added, “Ted Turner is the kind of person for whom Lifetime Achievement Awards are created.”

David Levy, the president of Turner Sports, knows what Turner has meant to him and his network. Turner Sports now is a major player in sports TV, with packages that include the NBA, Major League Baseball, the PGA Championship and the NCAA Basketball Tournament. In April, the network experienced a landmark moment by airing the semifinal games during Saturday of the Final Four for the first time. In 2016, Turner will air the championship game.

“This guy is a true visionary,” Levy said. “He said, ‘Content is king’ before anyone else said content is king. He realized sports were a huge part of that content.

He really understood the business better than anyone else.”

Turner’s TV ride began when he purchased a struggling UHF station in Atlanta in 1970. Looking for programming, WTCG (which stood for “Watch This Channel Grow”) started to air Atlanta

Braves games in 1974. After the Braves sunk to a 67-94 record in 1975 and drew only 534,672 fans, prompting speculation the team could move to Toronto, Turner stepped in and bought the franchise. He also added the Atlanta Hawks to his portfolio the following year. They were purely TV deals for Turner.

“We needed viewers, and Atlanta sports teams came with built-in audiences,” Turner said. “Fans wanted to see the Braves play, and were willing to buy UHF antennas if necessary.

Once they had the antennas, we knew that people would watch not only the Braves, but our other programming as well.”

Added Levy: “He owned the teams not for the vanity of owning a team. He realized (the games) are a lot of content in primetime.”

Turner’s next move then was to rename the station WTBS and link it to satellite.

This allowed early cable operators to gain access to his “Superstation” for a small fee.

Now, the Braves were going coast-to-coast.

Initially, even Turner admits he might have underestimated the impact of their games across the country.

“The Atlanta Braves were initially a losing team, so I really didn’t see airing their games outside of the Atlanta market as a threat to other franchises,” Turner said. “But, I was wrong.

“Ted Turner is the kind of person for whom Lifetime Achievement Awards are created.”

Some have stood taller than Turner (pictured below with center Tom McMillan of the Atlanta Hawks, which Turner bought in 1977), but few have cast a larger shadow—Turner shares a laugh with “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson and fellow billionaire’s-club member Richard Branson.

A lot of people didn’t like the idea, but it proved to really pay off for us by increasing ratings and the Braves’ fan base.”

TBS helped the Braves solidify their place as ‘’America’s Team.’’

In 1982, they won the National League West pennant. Attendance more than tripled to 1.8 million. And TBS was reaching 25 million homes, up from 700,000 six years before.

Ernie Johnson Jr. literally had a first-hand look on the Superstation’s impact on the Braves and TV sports. His father, Ernie Johnson Sr., was the long-time Braves’ play-by-play voice for Turner.

“My dad started getting letters from all over the country,” Johnson said. “People were listening to him everywhere. It showed you the scope of this Superstation.”

Johnson, now one of the pillars of Turner Sports in his various roles, recalled his father had a close relationship with Turner. They never had more than a handshake deal.

“Ted used to say, ‘You don’t need a contract as long as I’m around here,’” Johnson said.

“Dad really loved working for him. He would come home and say, ‘You should hear what Ted said today.’ That tradition goes back a long, long way.”

Johnson believes Turner was always driven by “naysayers,” whether it was with the Superstation or the launch of CNN. Tell him something couldn’t be done, Johnson said, and Turner wanted to do it that much more.

“He was a true pioneer in sports,” Johnson said. “He set

128

EMMY ALMANAC

the path for everybody. He said, ‘Yeah, this will work. And not only will it work, but you’ll be doing it too.’”

Indeed, the notion that viewers would consume sports on a daily basis beyond their local teams helped fuel the formation of ESPN in 1979 and all that followed in the new cable era. Looking back four decades later, it is easy to see how the concept made sense.

“It definitely paved the way for ESPN and similar networks because the idea of being able to watch and follow teams of your choosing, regardless of geography, was now possible,” Turner said. “People enjoy having a choice in entertainment – whether it be news, sports or other programming.”

Turner is no longer is active in the operations of Turner Sports.

However, he is extremely proud of how the network has grown as a force in sports television. When Turner and CBS combined to sign a landmark 14-year, $10.8 billion for the NCAA tournament in 2010, Levy received countless letters of congratulations. He saved one of them: A note from Turner.

“It’s incredible how far Turner Sports has come over the years, and it’s grown even more in recent years,” Turner said. “Turner Sports has proven itself as a major player, and it gives me great pride to have started it.”

The pride goes both ways.

“From my perspective, I’m proud to be able to continue the tradition of the name that’s on the door here,” Levy said. EA

Live Sports Broadcasting Enters a New Era

by Jonathan Pannaman and Mitch Rymanowski

T The world’s first live televised sporting event was Jesse Owens’ record-setting win in the 100 meters at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Very few people saw the historic event. By contrast, more than 3 billion people watched the opening ceremonies of the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

EMMY ALMANAC

here’s nothing quite like live broadcasting for capturing and engaging viewers, building camaraderie and community, and creating moments that stay locked forever in our memories. Over the past four decades, live television has allowed us to witness landmark political events, awe-inspiring natural disasters, award-winning musical performances, and the heroic efforts of ordinary people in times of crisis. While coverage of such events has made an indelible imprint on the memories of many television viewers, few of them

“According to FIFA, nearly half the world’s population tuned in to watch the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.” offer the same degree of excitement and engagement induced by a highly competitive live sports event, playing out in real time.

From the viewer’s perspective, much has changed since the world’s first televised sporting event, the fabled 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, with coverage of American Jesse Owens’ heroic victory in the 100-meter final.

As television sets were not yet a common fixture in homes, very few people actually witnessed that milestone event.

Fast-forward 78 years, and some 3 billion people worldwide watched the broadcast of the opening ceremonies of the XXII Olympic Winter Games held in Sochi, Russia. In addition, an estimated 62 million unique users also streamed digital content from the event. Now all eyes are on the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, which seems poised to surpass all previous statistics. (According to FIFA, nearly half the world’s population tuned in to watch the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.)

With audience numbers like these, it’s clear that viewers want to watch their sports programs live, as they unfold.

Daytime sports broadcasts in particular are benefiting from today’s brave new world of multiplatform video streaming.

Many of us would not be caught without our smart devices, which means we have more and more opportunities to watch live events during the day, wherever we may be. In response, the daytime lineup has become much richer than ever before – with networks broadcasting a tremendous range of events from daytime high school and college football games to baseball, track, gymnastics, soccer, and much more.

Even specialized cable networks such as the Tennis Channel and the Golf Channel are getting in on the daytime act by streaming live tournaments via their specialized mobile apps.

While the immediacy of live broadcasts is uniquely compelling to individual viewers, there is also something about live sports that makes us want to join in the viewing experience as part of a larger collective. We want to share the moment with others. Whether viewed on a computer, smartphone, tablet, traditional television, or even a simulcast in the cinema, live sports broadcasts bring people together in a special way.

Not surprisingly, social media is playing a huge and growing

New technologies have improved production and cost structures to the point that fans can enjoy near-daily live coverage of sporting events through such specialized networks as the Golf and Tennis channels. Pictured above: ESPN Sportscaster Chris Berman hits an approach shot at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, held February 6-9, 2014. Kevin Anderson of South Africa returns a shot during play at the Tennis Channel Open

role in creating this communal atmosphere. People’s desire to consume live broadcasts as part of a larger group makes the connection between live broadcast and social networks a magical thing. By reaching around the globe to bring events to millions of viewers, and by enabling people to join in a shared conversation about these events as they unfold, the combination of social media and live broadcast has the power to create community in a way that crosses many cultural, class, and geographic boundaries. It enriches the collective experience and gives viewers an opportunity to engage more fully with the event itself, as well as with other viewers watching that event. As a game or match commences, viewers respond simultaneously – joining in an online discussion through their mobile devices and contributing their own perspectives to the “official” commentary.

In this environment, ESPN and all other major sports broadcasters always must be prepared to leverage new technologies to deliver compelling and innovative live sports content to our viewers. This preparedness starts with an understanding that sports are still viewed live, in front of the

television when possible or on the go. In order to meet the requirements of every sports fan, sports broadcasters must have the technical infrastructure to deliver content to every conceivable device out there, ranging from all of today’s flavors of smartphones and tablets to the devices of the future, whatever they may be.

It’s a question of scale, and scale is the driving concept behind ESPN’s new Digital Center 2 (DC-2) facility in Bristol, Conn. Nearing completion, DC-2 is a state-of-the-art studio and production facility that will be the new home of ESPN’s SportsCenter. Virtually every aspect of DC-2 is designed so that it may scale easily to support an ever-broader lineup of sports

programming, from college and professional teams events to a wide variety of studio programs, and a growing roster of delivery platforms. The facility incorporates evolving technologies that will take us to the next generation of high-definition viewing (also known as ultra-high definition). The key lies in simplifying the complex – in finding the shortest and fastest path for bringing in a staggering quantity and variety of content from all over the world, polishing it up, and getting it on the air.

The driving force behind these state-of-the art broadcast centers is IT-based technology infrastructure, which is rapidly changing the broadcasting landscape worldwide and making the multiplatform, social media-driven experience of watching live sports a reality. For the first 60 or so years of television broadcasting, technology was highly specialized and relied on dedicated machines that were designed for a specific purpose.

The whole intent of an IT infrastructure is to throw out these specialized boxes and run everything on standard computers, using processes based on software files rather than hardware.

At DC-2 and other advanced facilities, the IT network will create, in effect, a single pipeline for delivering programming out to the viewer platforms. This approach is more cost-effective than the traditional delivery chain, and greatly accelerates production while enabling the delivery of higher volumes of content, faster and on greater numbers of platforms. Reflecting the importance of social media for live sports viewing, the DC-2 facility will have a dedicated social media desk devoted to tweeting and posting relevant content to popular sites.

The growth of IT-based broadcasting infrastructures, delivery of programming to many different types of platforms, and the convergence of live broadcasting and social media are driving us forward into a new era of live sports viewing anywhere, any time, on any device, and connected with similarly engaged viewers all over the world. It’s definitely a great time to be a sports fan! EA JohnathanPannaman is senior director, engineering,and Mitch Rymanowski is VP, technology and engineering for ESPN.

National Capital/ Chesapeake Bay Chapter The National Capital/Chesapeake Bay Chapter (NCCB) serves all of the television markets in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC. Established in 1959 as the “Washington, DC Chapter,” NCCB now highlights television excellence in areas beyond the nation’s capital.

In recognition of this expanded geographic base, the chapter held its 2013 Emmy® Night Gala in Baltimore, Md., for the first time. The list of honorees ranged from small, independent production companies to world-renowned, online publications with specialized coverage of the region. In addition to presenting Emmy® Awards, the chapter inducted new members into NATAS’ Silver Circle and Gold Circle for significant contributions during 25 and 50 years of service, respectively.

The chapter presented all of these awards before a record crowd that highlighted NCCB’s commitment to growing the chapter to more than 800 members. In April 2014, NCCB expanded its staff to include an executive director and associate director to join the chapter administrator in seeking greater opportunities for its membership.

One of the ways NCCB serves its current and future membership is by presenting an annual scholarship in honor of Betty Endicott, Washington, DC’s first female news director. In 2014, for the first time, both full-time undergraduate and graduate students pursuing careers in communications, television or broadcast journalism were eligible to apply for scholarships, which range from $1,000 to $5,000. The National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter also presents Student Emmy® Pillars to those college students who show excellence in a predetermined set of categories.

THE NATAS

SF/NorCal Chapter Our Past

It all started in November 1949 when the Los Angeles Board of Governors voted to bestow chapter status on NATAS’ local San Francisco organization.

NATAS officially chartered the San Francisco/Northern California (SF/NorCal) Chapter on October 6, 1961. The chapter held its first Emmy® Awards ceremony in 1972 at the Hotel Mark Hopkins in San Francisco.

The SF/NorCal chapter was a natural given Northern California’s integral role in the history of the development of television. San Francisco scientist Philo T. Farnsworth invented electronic television in 1927. During the 1950s, Ampex developed video recording in Redwood City, and many of the computer technologies used in digital television were later developed in Silicon Valley.

In keeping with this rich legacy, the SF/NorCal Chapter actively supports the Media Museum of Northern California (norcalmediamuseum.org), which maintains an archive of local television, radio and print artifacts.

Our Present

Partnering with other media organizations, the SF/NorCal Chapter produces a variety of events each year in the areas of craft skills, technology, career development, broadcast management and social media. Each event is streamed live, recorded and archived on emmysf.tv for 24/7 viewing. In addition, the chapter nurtures future industry professionals through its college scholarships and high school awards.

The SF/NorCal chapter of NATAS will celebrate its 53rd anniversary in fall 2014. The chapter is energized as it continues to add members and evolves to stay relevant in the face of ongoing technological advances.

The chapter is committed to promoting the industry through a variety of events, such as this 2013 Meet the Pros Career Workshop.

The chapter celebrated more than a half century of commitment to excellence at its 2013 Emmy® Awards ceremony (top). The event was streamed live and featured webcast interviews (middle).

The chapter announced its Emmy® nominees on Friday, April 11th, during simultaneous parties in Seattle and Spokane, Wash., Portland, Ore., Boise, Ida., Bozeman, Mont., and Anchorage, Ak. All six chapter locations were linked via live streaming to an interactive evening of music and celebration.

The chapter also announced the 11 regional “superstars” that composed its 2014 class of inductees into NATA’s Gold Circle and Silver Circle. The chapter honored all of the inductees and Emmy® award winners at its 51st Annual Regional Emmy® Awards Gala on Saturday, June 7 at the SeaTac Hilton Convention Center, in Seattle.

The gala was a spectacular success thanks to the dedicated efforts of a great many dedicated volunteers. The chapter would especially like to thank our colleagues from NATAS’ Boston, Heartland, Lower Great Lakes, National Capital/Chesapeake Bay and Upper Midwest chapters for judging our entries this year. We truly appreciate the efforts and expertise of everyone involved in our gala. Your talents are what make NATAS the benchmark for honoring excellence in our industry.

From all of us on the Left Coast - THANKS! Dick Splitstone NATAS NW Chapter President

THE NATAS

Ohio Valley Chapter The Chapter The roots of the Ohio Valley Chapter can be traced to 1959 when NATAS was petitioned to form a regional Chapter in Columbus, Ohio. That charter was granted by the National Trustees in September 1962, marking the beginning of NATAS’s second “regional” chapter, known then as the Columbus Chapter.

In its very first year, the chapter elected officers, created a governing body, established a scholarship (“to be awarded to an outstanding Ohio State University student in television”) and sponsored professional-development seminars featuring writer/producer Rod Serling and children’s show host Shari Lewis.

In 1964, the chapter’s first Emmy® Awards were presented to WBNS and WLW-C at the Museum of Science & Industry in Columbus.

By 1974, the chapter expanded to include Dayton and Cincinnati and was re-named the Columbus/ Dayton/Cincinnati (C/D/C) Chapter. The chapter

The Ohio Valley Chapter has seen a significant growth – since 2010 its membership has expanded 22 percent.

is unique in that it is the only regional NATAS chapter that retains its charter in three cities.

In the early 1990s, the Emmy® Award boundaries of all regional chapters were expanded to ensure that every television professional in the United States would have access to, and eligibility in, the renowned Emmy® Awards. In 1994, the C/D/C Chapter adopted a more inclusive name, the Ohio Valley Chapter, to more accurately reflect the membership region which includes Southern Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and southern Indiana.

Silver and Gold Circle

Seven professionals became Silver Circle and Gold Circle honorees at the 2013 Emmy® Gala in Cincinnati. Former WHAS reporter and longtime “Crusade for Children” chairman

Rachel Thompson, from Ohio University, received the 2013 David J. Clark Memorial scholarship.

Emblematic of the chapter’s long history of growth and innovation, its 2013 Emmy® Awards Gala featured a live show webstream, backstage/ interview webstream and real time social media.

In addition, the chapter emailed each recipient their Emmy® Award portrait, and posted videos of the evening’s festivities on the chapter’s YouTube channel. The Ohio Valley Chapter will continue this commitment to leading-edge coverage and delivery during celebrations surrounding its 50th Emmy® Awards Gala, to be held August 2nd at the Columbus Downtown Hilton.

Bud Harbsmeier was inducted into the 2013 Gold Circle for over 50 years of exceptional service to his industry and community.

For significant achievements during careers of 25 years or more, the 2013 Silver Circle consists of (back row, l. to r.) Barry Fulmer (News Director, WDRB, Louisville), Jerry Revish (Reporter WBNS Columbus), Steve York (former Reporter/Asst. News Dir., WAVE, Louisville), Tom Kenny, (front row l. to r.) Carol Luper (Reporter, WSYX, Columbus), Bud Harbsmeier and Jane Elliott (Art Director, WXIX, Cincinnati).

The 34th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards ®

Honoring Excellence and Innovation

2014 marks the 35th year that the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has presented Emmy® Awards for excellence in news and documentary programming. Over those three and a half decades much about the world of news and documentary has changed, and much has stayed the same. As was true 35 years ago, citizens still rely on electronic media for information crucial to making sense of the world around them. And certain kinds of journalism that were staples of news coverage and documentary filmmaking at the time—breaking news, investigative reporting, feature-length docs on pressing social and political issues—are as ubiquitous today as they were in 1979, the year NATAS held its first News and Documentary Emmy® ceremony in New York. But many things have changed radically in the intervening years, including the definition of television itself, and the place television occupies in the larger media landscape.

The National Television Academy’s mission is to reward the best in television programming, but what exactly is television now? Is it what appears on the rectangular box that sits in your living room, which might be as many as 105 inches wide, with the ability to display high definition imagery and 9.2 surround sound of a quality that rivals the immersive capacity of cinema? If so, does that include all the different types of programming that can be funneled to that screen via set top boxes like Roku or Apple TV, or thumb-sized dongles like Google Chromecast-programming that might not necessarily be produced by legacy media organizations? Does it include video that looks very much like TV, but that is delivered to your computer or tablet or phone? Does it include multimedia projects that fuse many different kinds of

140

EMMY ALMANAC

media—print, video, social networking software—into a single, unique, interactive “transmedia” experience?

The answer to all of these questions, at least for the purpose of awarding Emmy® Awards, is “yes.” And for the past decade, the News and Documentary Emmy® Awards have tried to make room for the new while continuing to honor the core values that lie at the heart of broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking.

For example, in 2006 NATAS began accepting online content into its Emmy® competitions. There was only a single category for online content that year, but now all News and Documentary categories are open to both online and broadcast programming.

The three New Approaches categories are particularly friendly to online content, and last year’s winners in these categories illustrate the kind of innovative journalism that the National Academy is increasingly committed to recognizing: “Clouds Over Cuba,” an interactive multimedia documentary commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was also the recipient of a Webby Award; “Life Interrupted,” a multimedia feature from The New York Times documenting 23-year old Suleika Jaouad’s fight against leukemia. And “In Jennifer’s Room,” a report from the Center for Investigative Reporting that used a graphic novel format to meet the unique challenges of treating a particularly sensitive subject: exposing the abuse of disabled patients inside California’s state-run Developmental Centers On the one hand, one could say that the decision to present David Fanning, the longtime Executive Producer of PBS’ “FRONTLINE,” with a lifetime achievement award was an example of NATAS’ commitment to honoring the venerable values

of top-notch journalism and quality filmmaking.

And that is certainly true. But, under Fanning’s leadership, “FRONTLINE” was, and continues to be, an innovator. “FRONTLINE” was one of the first television series to make its content available on the web. And not just finished films, but as much of the source material as possible, such as interview transcripts, outtakes, and primary source documents. This may seem like par for the course today, but in 1995 when “FRONTLINE” began posting leftover audio from “Waco: The Inside Story”—a film about the FBI’s disastrous clash with the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas—it was relatively rare. The decision to make this material available online was motivated by “FRONTLINE’s” deep commitment to journalistic transparency and openness—to showing as many people as possible not just the finished product, but the materials out of which the final film was constructed.

“FRONTLINE” used new technology in the service of long-standing journalistic best practices.

David Fanning is just the latest addition to a list of News and Documentary lifetime achievement honorees that includes some of the most important and influential people in the profession. These individuals are household names today, but all of them have, in different ways, expanded the scope of what’s possible in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking. Past lifetime honorees include: Roone Arledge, Don Hewitt and the Correspondents of “60 Minutes,” Tom Brokaw, Sheila Nevins, Bill Moyers, Ted Koppel, Bob Shieffer, Tim Russert, Ken Burns, Barbara Walters, Walter Cronkite, Frederick Wiseman, Larry King, Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas.

The presentation of lifetime achievement awards to Univision anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas in 2012 paid tribute to two pioneering anchor/ reporters that have practiced their craft with distinction since the early 1980’s. It was also long-overdue David Winn acknowledgement of the Executive Director News and Documentary importance of SpanishEmmy® Awards language broadcasting to the U.S. media landscape.

While reports and films from Spanish-language media are regularly submitted to many News and Doc Emmy® categories, this year NATAS added three categories specifically for Spanish language broadcasters. Doubtless we will see more such categories and recognition in the future.

When the first News and Documentary Emmy® Awards ceremony was held in New York City in 1980, nominations went to four networks—ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS—and every nominated program found its way to viewers’ television screens via the airwaves. By contrast, when last year’s nominations were announced in July of 2013, 32 organizations received nods (including the four networks just mentioned), and many of those nominees had never appeared on a broadcast or cable channel.

They arrived at whatever device they were screened on via the Internet. The future promises more of the same— more news organizations and documentary filmmakers, speaking to an increasingly diverse public, delivering more content to more viewers in increasingly novel ways.

NATAS TRUSTEES AWARD

Dan Rather “ The hardest working man in journalism” enters the seventh decade of an iconic career.

by Elizabeth Jensen

A

t an age when many of his colleagues have long ago traded their reporter’s notebook for a golf scorecard, Dan Rather is still chasing stories, as he has for more than six decades.

Rather began his journalism career as an Associated Press reporter in 1950 while still in college. Today, he is the managing editor and anchor of “Dan Rather Reports” for cable channel AXS TV. For his many accomplishments in those intervening years, Rather is the latest recipient of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ highest honor, The Trustees Award.

Few can claim the title of journalism icon; Rather – who interviewed every president from Dwight Eisenhower to Bill Clinton, and has reported on every major world event of the last 60 years from the civil rights movement to Vietnam, the Watergate White House, 9/11 and wars in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan – is one. With an extraordinary body of work behind him, he could easily slip into a life of punditry, but his chase after the next big story is no surprise to those who have followed the journalist often called “the hardest working man in broadcast journalism.”

Even while he was anchor and managing editor of the “CBS Evening News,” Rather at various times reported for CBS’ “60 Minutes” and “60 Minutes II,” anchored and reported for “48 Hours,” and turned out weekday CBS Radio reports, a syndicated newspaper column and several best-selling memoirs.

Born in Wharton, Texas on Oct. 31, 1931, and raised in Houston, “on the wrong side of the tracks,” as he likes to say, Rather was

150

EMMY ALMANAC

He stepped out from behind the anchor desk whenever he could to report for himself and spurred his competitors to do likewise.

(Photos, clockwise from above) Rather has interviewed every U.S. President (shown with Richard Nixon) from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Bill Clinton, and during an unprecedented 24-year run as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” gave Americans a front-row seat to the major events or our time (shown reporting from the U.S./Soviet Union Summit in 1985).

the first person in his family to go to college – earning his degree from Sam Houston State Teacher’s College in Huntsville. The school is now referred to as Sam Houston State University, and it has named its journalism and communications building after Rather.

Rather hustled his way up the ladder through Texas radio stations, United Press, the Houston Chronicle and CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV. There, he caught the attention of CBS while reporting live from the Galveston Seawall in the midst of Hurricane Carla in 1961. He landed at CBS News in 1962 as chief of its Southwest bureau in Dallas, later moving to the Southern bureau in New Orleans. That put him at the epicenter of the civil rights movement, one of the stories of the decade. And it put him in Dallas, on Nov. 22, 1963, where he gained fame as the first to confirm the death of President John F. Kennedy.

The Kennedy assassination was the first major event where Americans relied mostly on television for their information, and Rather’s career developed in parallel to that of the medium. His style – alternately probing, passionate and folksy, peppered with such “Ratherisms” as; “This race is tight like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach” – played well on the small screen where personality helped reporters stand out.

Posts covering the White House (both the Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon presidencies), London and Vietnam followed the Kennedy assassination, as did a penchant for landing in the public eye; Rather was knocked to the ground while attempting to interview a delegate being removed from the floor of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and tangled with Nixon at a 1974 press conference.

(Photos, clockwise from above): Rather (second from right) and the man he succeeded as anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” Walter Cronkite (second from left) are titans among the giants of modern broadcast journalism, who include (l. to r.) Robert Trout, Don Hewitt, Dallas Townsend, Douglas Edwards and Charles Osgood. As a reporter in Dallas in Nov. 1963, Rather was the first to confirm the assassination death of President John F. Kennedy. Rather’s career highlights included a stint on 60 Minutes with (clockwise from left) Morley Safer, Harry Reasoner and Mike Wallace. During his tenure as CBS anchor, Rather made it a habit to correspond from armed conflicts around the world.

The incidents only served to burnish his reputation for toughness. After stints anchoring the “CBS Reports” documentary unit and weekend newscasts and reporting for “60 Minutes,” on March 9, 1981 Rather earned the top job, succeeding the legendary “CBS Evening News” anchor Walter Cronkite. He held the post for 24 years, a tenure unmatched at any network, and with NBC’s Tom Brokaw and ABC’s Peter Jennings, became of the “big three” network anchormen who had unrivaled influence for two decades regarding how Americans got their news, until the rise of the Internet era.

Once in the job, Rather reinvented the role as “anchorcorrespondent.” He stepped out from behind the anchor desk whenever he could to report for himself and spurred his competitors to do likewise.

He was in a liberated Kuwait in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, and Yugoslavia in 2000 when NATO began bombing. His dramatic 1988 reports from Afghanistan, while disguised in flowing robes, won him the nickname “Gunga Dan” – and two Emmy® Awards. A defining moment of the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 was the sight of American TV screens going black when Chinese authorities pulled the plug on his live report.

Among the long list of Rather interviews, a few stand out: in 1999, President Clinton’s first following the Monica Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment by the House; exclusives with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, in 1990 after Iraq invaded Kuwait, and in 2003 on the eve of the allied invasion; and a combative 1988 live interview with Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush when he pressed the sitting Vice President about the Iran Contra scandal.

In 2004 came one of the biggest scoops of his career: the story of prisoner abuse at the U.S. military’s Abu Ghraib prison.

That was the year Rather also became embroiled in a controversy after the network apologized for his “60 Minutes II” report about Republican President George W. Bush’s Air National Guard service during the Vietnam War, saying the supporting documents had not been authenticated. Rather retired from the anchor chair the following year—24 years to the day from when he first occupied it.

He could have retired, but instead he left CBS News in June 2006,

152

telling The New York Times that, “I am as hungry for important stories as I’ve ever been.” In November of that year “Dan Rather Reports” debuted on what was then HDNet, now AXS TV. His work continues to win accolades, including a News and Documentary Emmy® at NATAS’ most recent News & Documentary Emmy® Awards Show. Last year, he came out with a new memoir, “Rather Outspoken: My Life in the News.” It was certainly not the final word from the most legendary “newsman” of his generation. EA

Sam Houston State Salutes Dan Rather and His Lifetime Achievements!

When Dan Rather stepped onto the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, he, like

many SHSU students, was the first in his family to attend college. Through a drive to succeed, hard work, and university and community support, Dan received his bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1953.

During his four years of college, he was editor of the student newspaper The Houstonian and began his career in journalism as a reporter for KSAM Radio in Huntsville, Associated Press and United Press International. Upon graduation, Dan spent the following year as a journalism instructor at his alma mater.

Throughout his career, Dan has been a generous supporter of the university and its broadcast journalism program. The university’s Mass Communication Department building bears his name as a symbol of excellence and inspiration.

He established a coveted and prestigious internship program that has launched the careers of other award-winning journalists, and the Dan Rather Endowed Chair enables the university to attract renowned journalists to campus who contribute to the overall excellence of the university’s Mass Communication programs.

{

{

Dan Rather’s lifetime achievement in journalism goes beyond his career success and contributions to the industry; he remains an inspiration and catalyst for change, positively influencing our students and changing the trajectory of the future for broadcast journalism.

34th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Awards Lifetime Achievement Honoree

David Fanning A rare talent for appealing to both the mind and heart.

avid Fanning might have had a career as just another talented documentary filmmaker if not for a chance meeting on a California beach in the mid-1970s. That meeting led to a decision by an official from Boston public television station WGBH to take a risk on an unknown long-haired South African with no formal journalism training, and whose home country didn’t even allow television until 1976.

And that decision led to one of the great collaborations in television journalism, as Fanning, the recipient of the 34th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Lifetime Achievement Award, went on to become the founding executive producer for WGBH’s “FRONTLINE,” a post he still holds today, 30 years after the launch.

Under his leadership, the show – which has broadcast some 550 films about everything from the war on terror and presidential politics to the seven-year saga of day care providers accused of child sexual abuse, Chinese human rights, religion in America, how the media reports on national security, the struggles of family farmers, Appalachian boys and Native American women, and the beauty of funeral homes – has become not only U.S. television’s longestrunning investigative documentary series, but a compulsory viewing weekly hour that slices through the media clutter to focus attention on the critical issues of our time.

The documentary had been declared all but dead in 1976, when WGBH executive Peter McGhee went searching for someone to oversee a new PBS show called “World.” His boss told him to look in

“[FRONTLINE] is a compulsory-viewing weekly hour that slices through the media clutter to focus attention on the critical issues of our time.” the ranks of the broadcast networks, where the era of the celebrated “CBS Reports” and NBC’s “White Paper” had given way to glitzier newsmagazines. But, McGhee said of those he met, “I didn’t find that they were interested in ideas.”

He had, however, “seen a couple docs done by a guy named Fanning,” about religion in South Africa and race in the United States. Fanning was the son of teachers, the editor of his University of Cape Town newspaper and a self-taught filmmaker who had sold his motorbike to go to London when the BBC bought his film. He was making documentaries at KOCE, a small PBS station outside Los Angeles, when he and McGhee met on the beach and he convinced McGhee he could get the show up and running.

His hiring, Fanning said, was both surprising and “lifechanging.” Over the next five years in Boston, under McGhee’s mentorship, Fanning reached out to filmmakers worldwide, crafting a lineup of 60 films for “World.”

Among them was the 1980 “Death of a Princess.” Produced and co-written by Fanning himself with director Antony Thomas, it became a pivotal early lesson in withstanding intense political pressure. Governments scrambled to placate the oil-producing Saudi government, furious over the dramatized film about a Saudi princess and her lover who had been publicly executed for adultery. PBS backed Fanning and resisted calls by the U.S. State Department to pull the film, although some PBS stations opted out.

Less than two years later, over a sandwich with Fanning, the

more domestic-oriented “FRONTLINE” was conceptualized on the back of a napkin by a Corporation for Public Broadcasting official, Lewis Freedman. Fanning assembled a team of filmmakers—including Bill Cran, Ofra Bikel, Michael Kirk, David Sutherland, Martin Smith and Lowell Bergman—to whom he turned repeatedly. “He was very ambitious, he knew what he wanted,” said Bikel.

Early films ventured often into arts and culture, but Fanning shaped the show to its times, said Louis Wiley, the program’s longtime executive editor. After the terror attacks of September 2001, “FRONTLINE” swiveled to probe that event’s roots and aftermath. In recent years, investigative work has dominated, because, Fanning said, “it’s necessary and needed in the culture.”

It isn’t just the stories that “FRONTLINE” chooses to tell that make the program important, but the marriage of solid journalism with engaging storytelling. To create dramatic interest, a “FRONTLINE” film, Fanning said, will often “bury the lead,” placing some of its best material “within the context of the narrative, the chronology of the story, rather than presenting it up front as a headline, the way the commercial networks are forced to do.” So in the 2005 “The Torture Question,” startling home video of U.S. soldiers playing out the torture of Iraqi prisoners ran in the film’s third act, where Fanning said, “it had a profound weight” for viewers.

“What people don’t quite understand is the amount of work that David has done on the shows that go on the air,” said Raney Aronson-Rath, the show’s deputy executive producer. She vividly recalled her first edit room screening for Fanning after joining “FRONTLINE” from ABC News. “He watches my film, we finish, and he says, ‘that was a lot of work there, Raney. What I want you to do

now is to take out all your narration and your music,’” she recalled.

“I literally felt nauseated.”

But stripped of the “unnecessary words and bad music,” she said, the 2003 film about alternative medical treatments “started to sing. It was like learning a new vernacular.” He also taught her, she said, to embed broad ideas in a narrative, by, say, chronicling the American evangelical movement through the experience of President George W. Bush.

“I’ve always said he’s a genius at helping filmmakers find the way out of the forest of their mounds of reporting,” Wiley said.

Fanning also mandated transparency. When “FRONTLINE” started, “documentary making was not transparent in any way,” McGhee said, noting that CBS News was fighting to keep its outtakes private after being sued

by General William Westmoreland. What he found in Fanning was “somebody who was so fundamentally committed to discovering the truth of things that he would not succumb to the siren song of easy manipulations that are possible.”

“There’s a deep culture of openness about what we do,” Fanning said simply.

The Web allowed for even more transparency.

“FRONTLINE” jumped on board in 1995, when many

156

EMMY ALMANAC

journalism colleagues still feared the Internet, posting leftover audio from its story about the FBI clash with Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. Interview transcripts, primary documents and outtakes soon were being routinely posted, sometimes over a producer’s reluctance.

“FRONTLINE” eventually built a video player to put full films online.

“The moment was very dramatic,” Fanning said; “These films were no longer going to be ephemeral.”

Fanning’s insistence on moving online had a side benefit, keeping the show relevant for younger viewers. Rather than cannibalizing the television audience, the online streams have expanded its reach.

Over the years, Fanning was courted for more-lucrative jobs, and, McGhee said, he “flirted” with Hollywood. The biggest push, Fanning said, came from ABC News’ Roone Arledge. But the freedoms of the “FRONTLINE” job to pursue exceptional work with filmmakers remained “unprecedented in television,” he said.

Contemplating succession, Fanning has taken careful steps to set up a gradual, almost imperceptible transition, a year ago appointing Aronson-Rath as his successor—whenever that will be. “He’s encouraging me to build my team,” said Aronson-Rath, without setting any public deadline. “We need to have our own rhythm to that,” Fanning said.

But as Aronson-Rath takes over more of the show’s daily operations, Fanning, who is 67 but far from retiring, is focusing on special projects, including the creation of an iPad app and transmedia productions optimized for tablet users that weave together print, video and still photography.

Newspapers, Fanning noted, are rapidly embracing video, and documentary filmmakers must likewise “look at some ways we can reach back in our own roots, as writers” and embrace multilayered projects from multiple collaborators, including the numerous journalistic partners “FRONTLINE” has cultivated in recent years to share ideas and costs. “I think the documentary form is going to be reshaped by this [convergence of media],” Fanning said, still looking forward after all these years.

Barbara Walters O

n May 16, 2014, Barbara Walters bid a formal goodbye to an on-air career that spanned six decades and helped revolutionize the role of women in television. Her tearless farewell came on the set of “The View,” the show Walters created and has co-hosted since 1997. “The View” was an aptly named setting for her send off – from this vantage, Walters and a Who’s Who panel of top female broadcasters looked back on a career that could be described as nothing less than legendary.

Walters was so influential at her peak that her interviews served to confer a mark of cultural relevance on her subjects.

She achieved this status by building a list of scoops and first interviews that ranged from the world’s most powerful men to America’s most popular stars. In the mid-‘70s, she followed a headline-grabbing interview with Cuba’s Fidel Castro by arranging a historic joint interview with Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Prime Minister Menachem Begin. She was the first American journalist to interview Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and the world leaders she sat across from include the Shah of Iran, Jordan’s King Hussien, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, Russia’s Boris Yeltsin, Katharine

A broadcast icon looks back on the brave new world she pioneered.

China’s Jiang Zemin, Great Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, India’s Indira Ghandi, Czechoslovakia’s Vaclav Havel, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, Libya’s Moammar Qadaffi and Iraq’s Sadaam Hussein.

Closer to home, Walters has interviewed every American president and First Lady since Richard Nixon. And Walters earned her crown as the “Queen of Personality Journalism” by making a habit of surfing the zeitgeist of American culture. Her celebrity interviewees often had achieved single-name status, be it first (Oprah, Angelina, Whitney, Miley, Beyonce), last (Clooney, Cruise, Hanks, Pitt, Eastwood) or given (The Duke, Sly, Jay Z, Jacko).

And all the while that Walters was bringing the leading statesmen and luminaries of her time into American living rooms, she was shattering one glass ceiling after another. When Walters started her broadcasting career on “The Today Show,” she was not allowed to ask “serious” guests any questions until her male counterparts were done with theirs. From that environment, Walters rose to become the first female network news cohost, and then the first female co-anchor of a network evening news.

In 1976, she became the first female journalist to earn a $1 million annual salary and, in 2000, she became the highest-paid news host in history. Walters cut a wide swath wherever she went, and in so doing, she propelled the entire generation of female journalists who followed in her considerable wake.

Even for someone with Walters’ outsized drive and ambition, the arc of her life is one she never could have imagined. But the journalist in her can scarcely be surprised – Walters long ago devoted her life to the premise that fact is more extraordinary than fiction. EA John Wayne

THE NATAS

Pacific Southwest Chapter History

In 1972, NATAS chartered the San Diego Chapter under the leadership of founding President Ralph Hodges. Two years later, the chapter held its first Emmy® Award ceremony in San Diego, Calif.

By 2001, the organization had expanded geographically to such an extent that it was renamed the Pacific Southwest Chapter. Today, the Pacific Southwest Chapter’s nearly 500 members hail from Bakersfield, Palm Springs, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara, Calif., as well as Las Vegas, Nev. The chapter’s rich legacy is evidenced by its many Silver Circle inductees, including these alums from the 2012 Gold & Silver Circle Luncheon.

Chapter Activities

The Pacific Southwest Emmy® Awards is the chapter’s largest and most attended event. Held every June, each show outdoes all previous ceremonies. In 2013, the show was held at the Red Rock Casino and Spa, in Las Vegas. Barry Shabaka Henley served as emcee, and magician Murray SawChuck set the tone when he made an Emmy® Award statue appear from thin air. The ballroom was filled to capacity with 400 attendees who came from as far away as San Diego and Santa Barbara.

The luncheon’s good times are all for a good cause, with proceeds from the event targeted for the chapter’s Scholarship Fund. In 2007, the Pacific Southwest Chapter formed a 501(c)(3) Foundation to raise funds for the express purpose of granting scholarships to graduating high school seniors and college and graduate students. Last year, the chapter presented scholarships to six local students interested in pursuing broadcast-related careers.

The chapter complements its signature awards ceremony with smaller events throughout the year. Members host various Happy Hour mixers and other social events – such as a special screening of “The Book Thief”– to allow members to meet in an informal setting.

The chapter has further extended its mentoring role by hosting a second annual Job Shadowing Week. The event enables students from colleges in San Diego and Palm Springs to shadow professionals from various stations in the area. Participants watch newscasts and go into the field to explore first-hand their interest in careers as producers, on-air talent, photographers, directors and crew.

The chapter ends each summer by hosting its Southern California Silver and Gold Circle Inductee luncheon. The dress code ranges from sport jackets to Hawaiian shirts, as television veterans and new members alike are regaled by stories from each inductee’s remarkable career.

The luncheon is a much-anticipated event that provides old friends the opportunity to share good memories, and attendees typically stay well past the end of the reception. To date, the chapter has inducted more than 250 members into its Silver and Gold Circle.

The chapter’s mentoring initiatives include a Job Shadowing Program, conducted at local stations such as KPBS.

In 2014, the Pacific Southwest Chapter celebrated the 40th Anniversary of its Emmy® Awards. The chapter received a record number of entries, and enjoyed a record crowd at the June ceremony, which was held at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. The event was emceed by former San Diegan and the “original” Anchorman, Harold Greene. The event served as a celebration of the Pacific Southwest Chapter’s rich heritage, with many of its past presidents in attendance and presenting awards.

Each year (2013 Emmy® Committee and crew shown above), a large number of chapter members and volunteers put on a spectacular Emmy® Awards program.

The Chapter

The Rocky Mountain/Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences serves Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and El Centro, Calif. Founded in 1959, it was the fourth chapter NATAS ever established.

Now in its 37th year, the Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards Gala is just one aspect of the chapter’s success. With nearly 600 active professional members, the chapter also boasts a growing student committee at Arizona State University (ASU) and plans to cultivate committees at additional regional colleges and universities over the next few years.

Kaley O’Kelley

The Rocky Mountain Chapter supports the next generation of broadcasters, producers, multi-media journalists and others with annual scholarship opportunities and a successful Student Production Awards program, which is available to both high school and college students. Through a partnership with the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at ASU, the chapter also has the ability to offer additional professional development opportunities to those looking to enter the field.

The Rocky Mountain/Southwest Chapter is proud to honor long-standing members of the broadcast community through the prestigious Silver and Gold Circle societies. Since 1992, these “hall of fame” societies have honored individuals who demonstrate exceptional service to the broadcasting field as well as the community-at-large for 25 and 50 years, respectively, with a majority of that time being served in the region.

Each year, the chapter also honors a unique individual, organization or station with its highest honor, the Governors’ Award. A panel convenes to review nominees against criteria that are more stringent than is normally found in individual craft or program categories. Past recipients have ranged from technical innovations to public service programs.

Kari Lake

Currently, the Chapter Board of Governors includes nearly two-dozen professionals across many platforms of the ever-changing broadcast industry. The board represents the colorful and diverse membership of the region, including professionals working in new media, government agencies, public relations firms, sports teams and traditional broadcast stations. A particularly exciting point of pride for the chapter is Malachy Wienges’ local membership and leadership. In addition to serving as a strategic member of the regional Board, Wienges also serves as National Chairman of NATAS. The chapter is also proud of its active engagement with members and the general public through its growing social media channels on Facebook and Twitter.

Southeast Chapter On June 7, 2014, the Southeast Chapter celebrated its 40th anniversary.

On that day, four decades ago, the late Don Elliot Heald founded the NATAS chapter in Atlanta, Ga. He was the chapter’s first president and would go on to serve as a NATAS national trustee. In 2004, he was inducted into the Gold Circle for his 50 years of dedicated service.

A broadcasting legend, Heald helped build WSB TV, Channel 2 into Atlanta’s leading television station. He hired WSB TV anchor and longtime NATAS member, Monica Kaufman Pearson, a 33-time regional Emmy® winner and legend in her own right. Today, another WSB-TV employee, Myrna Brown, serves as president of the Southeast Chapter.

Brown and Pearson acknowledged NATAS’ commitment to promoting intragenerational excellence when they performed a satirical duet of “Unforgettable” at the Southeast Chapter’s 2013 Emmy® ceremony.

The following year, the chapter received more than 1,000 entries for its anniversary Emmy® awards. And its 2014 Emmy® gala was its biggest and best yet, a fitting tribute to four decades of professionalism, creativity and achievement. Another sign of the Southeast Chapter’s ongoing growth was evidenced by its High School Student Award.

The chapter launched the awards in 2013 with 30 entries. In 2014, that number nearly tripled to 89 entries from around the Southeast.

The chapter also presents annual scholarships, and their importance to individuals and the industry was on full display at the 2013 gala.

Back in 1997, a young college student received a NATAS scholarship and a challenge from then-president Evelyn Mims – “Come back and win a statue!” Journalist Jeremy Campbell delivered on that challenge 16 years later when he was awarded his first Emmy® at the 2013 ceremony. ”Evelyn’s message stuck with me,” Campbell said.” I kept trying, and five nominations later came my first win.”

Campbell’s next step in NATAS’ progression of excellence is induction into the organization’s Silver Circle, for 25 years of exceptional service, and its Gold Circle for 50 years of service.

Southeast Chapter media professionals know how to succeed and give back, as evidenced by the chapter’s 13 Silver Circle nominees and one Gold Circle nominee.

The induction ceremonies will be held on September 12, 2014.

The chapter’s 2013 Emmy® Awards featured an aptly chosen duet of “Unforgettable” by current chapter president Myrna Brown (right) and 33-time Emmy® winner Monica Kaufman Pearson.

Upper Midwest Chapter About Us Established in 2000, the Upper Midwest Emmy® Chapter includes all media markets within Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and western Wisconsin. The Upper Midwest Emmy® Chapter’s large geographic area contains only one Top 20 market – Minneapolis/St. Paul – and two Top 100 markets – Des Moines and Cedar Rapids/Waterloo. In spite of this, the chapter maintains a highly competitive stature relative to larger media markets.

This is attributable to two main factors: 1. Media professionals and students in this region are very active in professionaldevelopment organizations.

2. Many of the region’s media veterans stay in their hometown areas, parlaying decades of experience into compelling community stories.

Media professionals in the region operate from the simple premise that majormarket storytelling is a state of mind, not a physical location. As a result, the chapter’s small-market members annually earn a disproportionately large share of Regional Emmy® Awards.

McKenna Ewen and Jason Gonzalez from the StarTribune Newspaper celebrate their awards last year for Sports Documentary.

Emmys on the Road ®

The Upper Midwest Emmy® Chapter is committed to professional and educational media development. The chapter has chosen to respond to tight training budgets by taking its Emmy® Awards on the road each year to TV stations and colleges across the region.

Chapter members host free video workshops for media professionals and students to demonstrate best practices for writing, shooting and editing. Award-winning entries are presented, and followed with discussions of the Emmy® entry and judging process. The workshops also afford attendees the opportunity to present their work and benefit from open-group critiques.

Student Production Awards and Scholarships The Upper Midwest Emmy® Chapter is the only chapter to hold its own Student Production Awards Ceremony for high school and college media students. The awards offer 21 different categories and average more than 200 entries per year.

The awards ceremony has sold out its Mall of America venues each of the past four years. In addition to involving many students in the chapter and its objectives, the awards help cement long-standing relationships with future media professionals.

The chapter also presents at least five scholarships each year to high school seniors or college students to help with their tuition and books. Since 2002, The Upper Midwest Emmy® Chapter has presented 66 scholarships worth $143,500.
