From the President Welcome to the Emmy Almanac, 2015 Edition! It is my honor, as the newlyelected President of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), to give you an inside look into what lies here in the pages ahead. Did you know that in addition to the Daytime Emmy® Awards there are also Sports Emmy® Awards, News & Documentary Emmy® Awards and Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards? That we have 19 Chapters across the country that give out regional awards? Let’s start with the Daytime Emmy® Awards which this year is being televised, live, on Pop on April 26th, 2015, from the historic Warner Bros. Studios Lot Stage 16, where many famous films such as “Casablanca” and “Jurassic Park” were filmed. There are a total of 85 categories that cover everything from daytime dramas, to courtroom shows, cooking, talk shows, children’s programming, animation, promos, travel, entertainment news, performers, hosts, anchors – it’s the most diverse awards show in the world! Next up is our Sports Emmy® Awards at Lincoln Center in New York City where we honor more than 190 nominees in 40 categories. This year we are honoring one of the guiding-lights of ESPN, its former President, George Bodenheimer, with our Lifetime Achievement Award. We recently held our Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards, with our sister organization, the Television Academy, coinciding with the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Canon, Netflix, Google, TiVo and many others were honored for the pioneering work in bringing television to us in more devices then we can keep up with. Every autumn, we present our News & Documentary Emmy® Awards, again, at Lincoln Center. Whether a nightly newscast, an investigative special or breaking news, these are the stories we tune in to learn from, and to be better informed in this rapidly changing world. Last year, we honoredWilliam J. (Bill) Small, former CBS Washington Bureau Chief, who helped mold the careers of some of our great news men and women such as Dan Rather, Bob Schieffer, Diane Sawyer, Lesley Stahl, Bill Moyers and many others. In the pages ahead you will find out more about this great organization and all about our 19 chapters. It is with great pride that I welcome you to the world of NATAS...Enjoy!

From the Chair It is my pleasure to be serving as the Chairman of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Board of Trustees. Each and every day impresses upon me the privilege it is to hold this position and I feel both proud and honored. Of course, I am keenly aware of the great responsibility that comes with the office and our commitment of recognizing excellence in the television industry. Good fortune alone has not made the National Academy of Television the highly regarded institution it is today; that has only come through the foresight, planning and flawless execution of our objectives. The changes occurring in our industry landscape are the subject of both the professional and consumer press; they are tectonic: the diversity of distribution platforms, new business models for funding creation and distribution of content continue to multiply. It is an exciting time of change. The lessons of our predecessors tell us that innovation, hard work and anticipating change, and indeed some luck, will be needed to successfully navigate this new landscape of “anytime, anywhere TV.” I am pleased to report that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is strong, vibrant and ready for the challenges and opportunities of the next “golden age” of television will bring. NATAS is entrusted with four major national ceremonies: Daytime Emmy® Awards, Sports Emmy® Awards, News & Documentary Emmy® Awards and Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards. Eligibility for our national awards requires a program entry be available to more than 50% of the US television market. Special recognition awards are presented such as Lifetime Achievement Awards in all four national programs in addition to our Trustee’s Award, our highest honor to a company or individual for a career that changes the very nature of television. We are especially honored this year to be awarding our Daytime Lifetime Achievement Award to the indefatigable, Ms. Betty White. Later this year, our Trustees Award will be presented to the President and CEO of Univision, Mr. Randy Falco, for his leadership in the monumental growth of “Spanish-Language” television in America. Our core and our strength as an organization are our nineteen regional NATAS Chapters across the country and the thousands of members dedicated to serving. Diverse by the nature of our country itself, each chapter conducts its own regional awards programs television excellence in local market television. Chapter members are involved in a wide array of services and activities, including television career guidance, education, community campaigns, scholarships, youth development, seminars and forums. This program will not only serve as a window into NATAS, its programs and chapters, but it will also serve as the official program of the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards which will be televised, live, from the historic Warner Bros. Studios on the Pop Television Network on April 26, 2015. On behalf of our Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, our staff of the national office and all those who across the country who contribute and work to make NATAS what we are and what we will be, I welcome you to the world of NATAS and look forward to many more years of rewarding excellence in television!

The 42nd Annual

Daytime Emmy Awards ®

On behalf of everyone at The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), I would like to welcome you to the 42nd annual Daytime Emmy® Awards! This is a milestone year for the Daytime Emmy® Awards. Our new partnership with POP is very exciting and we are proud to lead them into May sweeps with our live broadcast. POP’s devotion to fans and to Daytime make them a perfect partner and with the beautiful, Tyra Banks as our host, it promises to be quite a show. To add to this new exciting presentation, we have decided to bring back the Hollywood glamour by presenting our broadcast live from Stage 16 on the historic Warner Bros. lot – with a very special red carpet on the iconic New York Street and a cocktail reception on Brownstone Street. The Special Events David Michaels team at WB, headed by Hillary Harris, is creating a magical atmosphere for Senior Vice President, us in Studio Lot #16 and it will be a evening like nothing in recent Daytime Daytime Emmy® Awards and Events Emmy Award history. In addition, not to be outdone, we’ve moved our The National Academy of Daytime Creative Arts gala from downtown LA to the beautiful Universal Television Arts & Sciences Hilton this year, where two of television’s most famous personalities, Florence Henderson and Alex Trebek, promise a grand gala to honor the crafts behind the scenes of daytime television. Under the leadership of our new Chairman, Chuck Dates and our new President, Bob Mauro, the Daytime Emmy® Awards and NATAS is rising to new heights. We have found the perfect producer in Michael Levitt who understands Daytime and is producing an innovative and beautiful show. As always, many thanks go out to our National Awards Committee and its Chair, Linda Giannecchini. Again, this year, we embrace all the Daytime Genres – Daytime Dramas, Games 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 have added a category for Performers in New Approaches Drama Series and brought back Guest Performer in a Daytime Drama. We continue making history with our Spanish Language categories. It is always exciting when the Daytime community gathers in one room for our two wonderful Daytime Awards evenings. On behalf of Brent Stanton, 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. Additional special thanks to all of our presenters for being part of these exciting shows. Enjoy the show and thank you all for your creativity, enthusiasm and constant support of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Daytime Emmy® Awards.

Heather Tom Butterflies flutter in my stomach. I enter the control booth for stage 31 at CBS Television city. It’s a familiar place, I feel comfortable here. This is where I’ve worked for the last 8 years on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” So why does the atmosphere suddenly seem strangely foreign? Today is different from all the rest. It’s my first day of work.

Heather Tom

Cindy Popp, one of our directors on the “The Bold and the Beautiful” and the person I’ve been shadowing for the last five months, asks me if I’ve sat in The Chair. “No, not yet,” I say. “Well, you should, just to get a feel for it,” she replies. “Ok.” And I sit. In. The Chair. Alright then, I think, I’m in The Chair. I see the monitors, each camera with its own feed. Here’s the talk back button that will send my voice to the floor. Here’s the light that will illuminate my script. Ok, I can do this. The morning flies by. I block with the actors— *&$%! These are my actors! It’s amazing how much support I feel from everyone who works here. Over the last week there wasn’t a single person who hadn’t come up to me to ask if there was any way they could help to make this day easier. “Are you nervous?” they would ask. I’d play it cool, “A little,” I’d say. “We’re so excited for you!” And they are. I can feel it. They have my back, and I am grateful for it. I have known many of them for most of my life. Actors come and go in this genre, but the crew on these daytime shows, is pretty much a constant. They know me. They have watched me grow up. They have seen me at my best, and my most vulnerable. It’s my first day of work and they are proud of me; proud that I have come to this place on their watch. I’ve always thought of myself as one of the crew and, today, I am. I’m back in The Chair. It’s my turn. We move fast. Speed is the name of the game these days. I push the talk back button. “Good morning everyone! Ok, let’s start! Thorsten, you and Linsey are against the desk and you start in a kiss. Linsey can you kiss downstage?” Well, I think, that at least sound like I might know what I’m doing. At least I’ve got my lines down. “Is this what you want, Heather?” 64

Teddy, our camera three operator asks. “Yes, slide right across the drafting table to reveal them.” “You need to tighten up that shot,” Edward Scott barks from the producer’s chair behind me. Right. Got it. I say to John, who is on camera one, “can you tighten it up? I don’t want to see any of Thorsten in the shot.” We continue to rehearse. “I think she needs to fight for him more.” I turn to Edward to see if he agrees. “Yeah, tell her” I push the talk back button again. “Hey, Linsey, fight for your mandefend him. You’re in the power position here.” “Ok, great. Let’s shoot it.” “Opening positions.” “Roll cameras.” “Speed.” “And, action!” Scene one is done. On to the next. No time to pat myself on the back, there’s no room in the budget for that. Next item. The scenes fly by. Speed is the name of the game. But they still have to be good, right? They still have to be something we can be proud of. Not so long ago, we didn’t have to move at such a pace. We used to only shoot one show a day, now we shoot two. Scenes could be shot over and over again. Notes could be given after the first take instead of after rehearsal. I remember I used to get so upset when I would get a note after a rehearsal.

Well, you haven’t seen how I’m going to do it yet, I would think. Give me a shot at it and then give me your input. Those days are long gone and, gladly, so is that part of my ego. As crazy as it sounds, there are positives to moving so fast. For one thing, you don’t have time to get in your own way. You better jump with both feet and make a big choice or you’re going to be left behind. That kind of work can be really exciting for an actor. It gives you a certain freedom. It forces you to commit. Personally I thrive on it. I love the challenge. Fifty, sixty, seventy pages of dialogue? Bring it on. Back in The Chair, the note works well. The scenes get a shot of energy that they might not have had. I feel good. It’s a good first step. My block of scenes are finished. My first day on this side of the camera is over. I stand up from The Chair. I look to Edward for some kind of reaction. He nods, “good job,” he says. And, suddenly, I’m fifteen years old. It’s another first day of work. A different set. A different show. Same butterflies. Edward Scott walks toward me. I had just finished my first scenes as Victoria Newman on “The Young and the Restless.” “Good job,” he says, and he points his finger at me, “know your lines, be prepared, and watch these people, they know what they’re doing.” It was the best advice I could have been given. I did watch. I wanted to learn. Every script was like a gift. I had no idea how lucky I was that Bill Bell was writing them. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I was hooked. I loved it from the word go. And there were teachers everywhere. My first scenes were

[This] kind of work can be really exciting for an actor. I love the challenge. Fifty, sixty, seventy pages of dialogue? Bring it on.

with Eric Braeden. He taught me to think on my feet, to stay in the scene no matter what happened and see where it would take me. Melody Thomas Scott taught me to keep my emotions raw and available. She also taught me how to drop a tear like a pro. “Downstage eye or upstage?” she would ask. Downstage of course, always downstage. Later, in New York, Erika Slezak taught me what a real matriarch looked like. A diva—and I mean that in the best sense of the word—who backed up her talent with grace and dignity. Back in Los Angeles, the same building as before, but a different side of the hall, Susan Flannery taught me to take no prisoners; to act without restraint. She knew how to find the meat in a scene, to discover the conflict, even if there didn’t appear to be one. I’ve had so many teachers, too many to list. They taught me that I have to defend my character. I have to protect her integrity. I have to love her even when I don’t like her, even when I don’t agree with what she is doing. She is my best friend. She is my family. People always ask me what it’s like to grow up on Television. I never really know how to answer that question. This 66

life is what I know. It’s normal. Although, truth be told, I never dreamed that I would be doing this for so long. When I signed my first three year contract I couldn’t imagine how I would get through three long years. I would look at the other actors who had already been on the show for five or ten or twenty years and I would think, ten years! How is it possible to do anything for so long? Of course, time is relative when you’re fifteen. When I first started, I was such a strange combination of professionalism and naivety; totally capable of taking care of business and yet to a large extent sheltered. My first kiss was on camera. Awkward for me, yes, but probably nothing compared to my poor co-star who was ten years my senior. Everyone always commented on how mature I seemed. But now when they pull up some ancient tape from so many years ago, all I see is a baby. It’s crazy to think that so much of my life exists somewhere on miles and miles of tape. Now, of course it’s all digital. No more three quarter inch tapes to rewind and watch again. I wonder how many gigs I occupy. Of course there are plenty of challenges that come along with growing up on camera. I can’t say that being fifteen in the public eye is easy. Thankfully, I did so before the advent of social media. I can only imagine what it would have done to my fifteen year old self to log on to twitter or Facebook only to see some mean anonymous post commenting on my performance or worse, my appearance. I do go online now to see what people have to say about me and the character, but I probably shouldn’t. Or at least, I should try not to care so much. I’m like an actor in a play who

reads his own reviews; a dangerous practice and probably ill advised, but somewhat irresistible. The thing is, actors, probably more than any other breed, really need to be liked—really really liked. So on to the message boards I go to read my own reviews. I certainly have a thicker skin than when I was younger, but not by much. The positive comments bring me joy, relief, validation. The negative comments sting, they hurt. They make me want to write back so that people will know that there is a real person on the other side of that post. But I never do. I’m lucky that I’m dealing with this kind of feedback at this time in my life, at this time in my career. Negative comments may hurt my feelings, but they don’t destroy me. To that fifteen year girl, they would have been devastating. At that time, I was nothing but a raw nerve; swirling with emotions and insecurities. Body issues are normal for girls at that age. Now imagine what it’s like to have strangers commenting on how you look. People would tell me how much thinner I looked in real life. I knew this was meant as a compliment, but to my fifteen year old ears, all I heard was: you look fat on TV. How we look is without a doubt a big part of our job. How much of it is expected by our employers or is self-imposed is up for debate. I had to come to terms early on that I was never going to be a waif or a six foot tall super model. I still wrestle with that one. Often I find myself trying on a dress only to look in the mirror and say, “nope, still not a six foot tall super model!” I have come to embrace and love my curves. I have boobs and hips. Thankfully I have a butt that is actually my own, because let’s be honest, no matter what anyone says, that’s still something you can’t really buy in this town. I’m not a size zero or even a size two. I still haven’t lost the last six pounds of baby weight. Not wearing a bra is not a viable option anymore, but I feel sexier and more secure than I ever did when I was younger. Then love scenes or wearing bathing suits

Brad Bell taught me that every scene is a love scene, and that it’s never more heartbreaking when an opportunity to love is missed. I love that I have had a hand in creating a character that has a life of her own. She lives and breathes. She has a past, a history; and she has a future, a next generation. For millions of people around the world she is a daily presence in their lives. They love her and hate her, but she is real to them as she is real to me. When I put on her clothes, her shoes, I feel such a guilty pleasure. This is my chance to sink into her life and leave my own behind for a while. This is my chance to be fabulously wealthy, lustfully wooed, horribly betrayed and loved beyond reason, all in one afternoon. Honestly, what could be better than that?

Dr.Oz As a young doctor I understood that sleep deprivation was an unavoidable fact of life, but little did I know that nearly 30 years later, my TV work schedule would be on par with that non-stop pace. From predawn wake-ups, early morning call times and afternoon editorial meetings, to primetime interviews and global travel, my days are as full as they’ve ever been. I’m sure it’s something you can relate to – between coast-to-coast calls, jetting across time zones, and inevitable travel delays, the common refrain “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” starts to feel like a selffulfilling prophesy. But there is one huge difference for me today, no matter how action-packed the day. I now have a set in stone, nonnegotiable rule for my health: I insist on getting a good night’s sleep. This season I partnered with the nation’s top sleep experts on an eye-

opening show - The Dr. Oz Show AfterHours Sleep Clinic - to see just how widespread America’s sleep crisis really is. A staggering 20 million night owls from across the country reached out to us for advice about sleep. That astonishing number is why getting Americans back to bed has become one of my top priorities. The simple problem is that we don’t appreciate how vitally important sleep is to well-being. (If your motto is “sleep is for the weak,” yes, I’m looking at you). I’m not just talking about feeling groggy in your morning meeting. Here’s what has me as a doctor on high alert: the insidious effects that lack of sleep has on your health, your weight, and ultimately, your vitality. Consider these issues: Poor sleep throws your hormones out of whack and brings your immune system to its knees. It messes with your mood and it mangles your memory. And yes, it can most definitely lead to weight gain. Even more ominous, lack of sleep is now linked to nearly every one of the diseases we fear most, from heart disease and stroke, to obesity and diabetes, even certain cancers. One recent study found that skimping on sleep significantly increases colon cancer risk. And another reported that women who snooze for less than seven hours are at a higher risk of developing more aggressive breast cancers. All of this begs the question: How can you get more sleep? Here’s where to start: Make sleep a priority, a non-negotiable part of your schedule. How do I do it? I set a sleep curfew. I know – it’s been years since you had one, but I’ve found a sleep curfew essential to breaking the cycle of getting to bed too late. In fact, I set an alarm on my phone for an hour before bedtime as a gentle reminder to settle down for sleep. But when it comes to actually heading off to bed, I don’t care how many times you’ve heard this – get the

Power Snack Foods

When it comes to snacking, convenience is only one part of the equation. The second part is choosing the foods that are guaranteed to keep you full and focused throughout the day. That’s why I’m constantly scouring the literature for the latest research on foods that will give your body the biggest health bang for your buck. Here are my top picks:

Hardboiled eggs

Sure, it sounds simple, but each egg packs a protein punch that will keep you satiated through morning meetings, plus it’s loaded with B vitamins to give your energy a boost as well. Worried about cholesterol? There’s no need to be – thanks to a slew of research, eggs have been vindicated and are now fully welcomed into a healthy diet.

Popcorn

No, not the butter- and salt-drenched bites you get at the movie theater – I’m talking about the air-popped stuff. For those of us who have trouble with portion control, popcorn’s perfect, with three cups coming in under 100 calories, plus a s o fi e to he fi ou u ew esea ch shows that i c easi fi e intake by 7 grams a day is associated with a reduction of stroke risk). But don’t worry – I’m not suggesting you eat it plain. Dress it up with a drizzle of olive oil and spices, or my personal favorite – nutritional yeast.

Nuts

smartphone out of the bedroom. Digital connectivity is not only severing our real life connections, it’s sabotaging our sleep and causing damage that carries over into your work life. One study in mid- to high-level managers found that late-night smartphone users slept less, and as a result, were less productive at work the next day. The underlying culprit here is clear: the bright light from smartphones, laptops,

and e-readers effectively suppresses levels of the all-important sleep hormone, melatonin. Without enough melatonin, your brain doesn’t get the message that it’s time to shut down for shut-eye. My preferred solution? Keep the devices out of the bedroom completely. But if you really do need them, turn down the brightness and keep your distance – Mayo Clinic found that holding your device at

least 14 inches away from your face can lessen the sleep-suppressing effects. Still, the fact remains – Americans aren’t getting enough sleep. But I’ve got some good news. New science is pointing to an elegant take on an age-old solution – the power nap. Done correctly, it’s a near perfect booster for productivity and mental clarity. Aim for quick ten-minute snooze around 2 pm. The timing coincides with the natural lull in circadian rhythm – in layman’s terms, that’s your body’s clock telling you it’s time for rest. Ten minutes is ideal for a burst of alertness; snooze for much longer than that, and you’ll fall victim to what’s known as sleep inertia, which means you’ll have to fight off grogginess when naptime is over. And don’t get too comfortable. I take naps in my office chair so I don’t drift off into a deep sleep. And there’s another surprising ingredient for the perfect power nap. Believe it or not, it’s a cup of coffee. Have a bit of caffeine before you shut your eyes. The caffeine from a cup of joe takes 20 to 30 minutes to metabolize so time it out so it kicks in with the end of your power nap. Finally, there’s one more aspect of sleep that I’d like to touch on, and it’s one of the more provocative areas of research in the field: how sleeping affects the foods we eat. Skimping on sleep literally changes the way our brains think about food – and not in a good way. Sleep deprivation ups the desire for high-calorie junk foods and activates the areas of the brain specific to craving fatty foods. I find the sleep/food connection particularly alarming, and it’s why I fear we’ve got a major crisis on our hands: sleep deprivation, in combination with our hectic calendars, has a devastating impact on our weight. Busy schedules, sleep deprivation and eating on-the-go often cause us to eat what’s conveniently available at arm’s reach. And that, all too often, is the fat-filled junk

Oz’s Top Picks for Sleep

Turn the clock around

Watching the minutes tick by is one of the absolute worst things you can do for your sleep – by upping your anxiety about hours lost, you actually rev up your mind, keeping sleep even further at bay. What’s more, research has actually shown that the anxiety buildup leads to a decrease in sleep quality o ce ou o a a e to i t o o cou se e e iss to ot e tio the melatonin-suppressing effects you’ll get from the glow of the clock).

Lavender oil

We’re huge fans of essentials oils in the Oz household, and when it comes to sleep, my top pick is lavender oil. Just one whiff of its soothing scent and I feel more relaxed -- there’s even evidence that the smell actually decreases heart rate and blood pressure. I like to keep a diffuser in the bedroom, but I’ve also found it helpful to sprinkle a few drops of lavender oil right onto my pillow for a deep, restful sleep.

Try pink noise

Silence isn’t always golden – sometimes you need a little noise to lull you to sleep. And while most of us have heard of white noise, I say think pink. Similar to white noise, this rosy sound effect is a blend of high and ow e ue cies i e ai a i e stu ou that i oise iste e s experienced 23% more stable sleep time than those who skipped the sound.

food that our tired brains crave. That’s why I developed the Total 10 Food Plan, which is centered around making healthy choices as effortless as possible. It’s filled with simple recipes for meals and just as importantly, snacks that are easy to prepare. Just like I want you to prioritize sleep, I want you to prioritize healthy snacking. No matter where I’m going or what I’m doing you’ll never find me without a healthy snack on hand. Ask any member of my staff – from yogurt and fresh berries during morning briefings to almonds and granola during afternoon meetings. And if I’m craving my green drink? I’ve got it in a thermos. The secret to healthy snacking is packing it

in the morning and bringing it to work. And that coffee I mentioned above? Doctors are doing a complete about face about the once maligned mug. With solid evidence showing the brew helps reduce risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, I’m confident in calling it a health drink. The change in attitude is also reflected in the upcoming edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which will consider 3 to 5 cups a day part of a healthy diet. Of course, just remember to cut off the coffee by early afternoon – by prioritizing sleep and healthy snack choices, I promise you’ll be able to make it through those afternoon meetings without it.

Eileen Davidson’s

“Year of Living Dangerously” Appearing on two soaps and a reality show is all in a day’s work for this Daytime Emmy winner!

Eileen Davidson is everywhere! Everywhere on your television, or computer screens, that is. The daytime soap opera star was so in demand that 2014-2015 saw her returning to her role as captivating chemist Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless, coming back for another shocking turn as the twisted Kristen DiMera on Days of our Lives, and mixing it up as one of the newest cast members in the latest season of the successful reality series franchise, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! For Davidson, this success has happened in her 50’s, something that is not the usual fare for an actress in Hollywood. “We all see our flaws, but I am grateful for all that has happened in my life.” The kick-off to Davidson’s wild ride began when she took home the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award at last year’s Daytime Emmy ceremony for her performance as an unhinged Kristen on DAYS. “I remember everybody standing up when my name was called, but I didn’t actually realize it until afterwards,” Davidson recalls about her Emmy night experience.

“I was really happy with the work I had done on DAYS that year, so whatever happened it was kind of really cool icing on a great cake.” As for extolling advice to this year’s nominees: “I say, just enjoy the moment. Make sure you feel good in what you are in. I loved my dress, but it was super heavy. It also expanded over time, because it was actually very tight when I put it on. It was very form fitting and attractive, and then it kind of opened up more. All I can say is, I am just so happy that I won, because to be in that dress and to not win... I don’t know what the hell I was thinking? I would have been sitting on the curb with a bottle of champagne with my hundred pound dress over my shoulder! Thank God, I won! Therefore I would say, to try to be as comfortable as you can, and just feel good about yourself.” Next in the fall, Eileen found herself in an unprecedented situation of appearing on both Y&R and DAYS, and returning to Genoa City with a contract after being let-go from the series previously. “I started here, and I still love the character of Ashley,” Eileen related. “There has been a changing of the guard each time I was working on Y&R. A producer wanted me gone, and then when that producer was gone, the show wanted me back, and the DAYS thing happened. It’s kind of been accentuating circumstances along the way.” Following doing double duty on daytime, Eileen signed a deal to appear in Bravo’s reality franchise, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and she admits she was just as shocked as her soap fans that she was added to the cast! “I have no idea how I got on their radar,” Davidson exclaims. “They came looking for me. They knew that I lived in Malibu, and there is six degrees of separation. I never thought they would want a working actor on that show ... one that is working every day on a soap opera. That was pretty bold for them to go there. I am pretty grounded on that show, if you ask me … one of life’s great ironies!” But Eileen was happily surprised to learn that most of the women of “Housewives” were cool with who she was professionally. “They were very supportive of my soap career, and were very sweet. Lisa Vanderpump in her English accent would go, ‘I would have loved to have won an Emmy.’” Many say “Housewives” rivals the soaps

“I am so used to feeling judged, and being in daytime forever, that it’s a different kind of thing. What it teaches you is to live your own life, make your own choices, and be OK with that.”

with their blend of drama, catfights, and the obligatory throwing a drink in someone’s face, which Eileen has experienced first-hand. “It’s not scripted,” she says about RHOBH. “Now, I totally appreciate walking into the doors at CBS!” As for the now infamous scene where cast member Brandi Granville threw a drink in her face: “I don’t believe they told her to do that. Now there might be a feeling that something has to happen, but we are never told to make something happen. The poker party I had, I had no idea everything was going to hit the fan. I don’t think anyone told Kim Richards to take her ex-husband’s meds. I mean you just wouldn’t do that. It’s a whole new animal, and it’s really a crazy, wacky world.” As for any pushback Eileen received to those that couldn’t believe the enduring soap star would join the ranks of the reality “Housewives,” she explains: “It was a very interesting year. I call it my ‘Year of Living Dangerously.’ It has broadened my horizon, and it’s changed the way I look at things. The funny thing is, there have been so many judgments about reality TV. I see it in people’s faces, and I see it in people’s eyes. The people in daytime have been judged forever, and you know what? It’s a show! It’s entertainment. I am so used to feeling judged, and being in daytime forever, that it’s a different kind of thing. What it teaches you is to live your own life, make your own choices, and be OK with that.” Eileen noted that she appreciates the hard work of the men and women in daytime, and doesn’t approve of anyone looking down at the soap genre: “I did Access Hollywood, and I was being interviewed by host Billy Bush, and I said, ‘I can’t believe what you said at the Daytime Emmys - that the Emmy is three inches smaller than the nighttime Emmy. Are you kidding me? Talk about a buzz kill.’ And he said, ‘I did say that.’ I am very proud of the work I have done on daytime television. I have worked with big stars in film and TV, and I have to say they don’t have anything on most of the people I have worked with on daytime TV. An actor is an actor, and if we are lucky to get paid to do it, it’s across the board. Good acting is good acting, no matter where you see it.”

And speaking of good acting… watch out Salem! Come May, Kristen is back in town, and when she last left she literally stole an embryo out of another woman who was carrying her beloved Brady’s child, and had it implanted into her! “Did she?” Davidson teases. “She doesn’t consider it an embryo. She considers it to be her just reward. I think this is the payoff of that story.” However, the hectic pace of doing three different shows can be exciting and overwhelming even for someone as accomplished as Eileen: “This time taping DAYS, all three of my worlds collided. We had the wrap party for ‘Housewives’, and then my first day back to DAYS was after the wrap party, and I continued to work at Y&R all week, too!” She can play the bitch, she can play the sexy and seasoned perfume executive, but could she play herself, and be all right with that? Eileen revealed that was one of the things that attracted to her to become a “Housewive:” “I liked getting to show my sense of humor. I did the RHOBH so that people could see who I am, and that I am not this actress on a couple of soaps who has this kind of an attitude. I’m the one who drives a Flex, and has the boys that I am screaming at, and has a sense of humor about it. It shows that I am a real human being.” Now television audiences have gotten to experience Eileen in 3-D …as the enduring heroine Ashley at Y&R, as the evil Kristen at DAYS, and as a working mom and woman of today on “Housewives.” As Eileen likes to sum it up best, “The good, the bad, and the real!”

General Hospital’s Mutual Admiration Society Daytime Emmy winners Maura West, Michelle Stafford, and Finola Hughes talk about being part of the powerhouse female cast of the ABC soap opera. By Michael Fairman

Maura West

Leading ladies and dynamic actresses are a cornerstone of the daytime drama genre. For it’s the actresses and their characters that, more often than not, propel the stories. Whether it be through love and romance, danger and intrigue, revenge and murder, a health crisis, or an unspeakable tragedy, it’s watching the resiliency of determined women come through the toughest obstacles and persevere that hooks the audience for days on end. On ABC’s General Hospital (GH), the cast has an embarrassment of riches in the female cast department; many Daytime Emmy winners, who have either been the center of dramatic story over the last year, or supported their female counterparts. In a daytime coup, GH’s executive producer, Frank Valentini, brought Maura West (Ava) and Michelle Stafford (Nina) to the 78

Michelle Stafford

Finola Hughes

52-year-old series, and immediately built a harrowing story between them. Maura and Michelle joined the ranks of such GH notables as Laura Wright (Carly), Jane Elliot (Tracy), Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis), and Finola Hughes (Anna), building a tough act to follow for anyone in the medium. West, Stafford, and Hughes discussed being part of this wildly talented girl group. As Michelle relates: “You want to be in a group of people who lift you up, and that inspire you to work harder. There’s no bitchiness with anyone here.” Maura concurred: “The women are unbelievable on this show. I’m a human being, so you’ve got to sift things out, and check it out. For instance, look at Laura Wright. She works on her scenes, never tries to undermine me as a woman, or an artist, and that’s why GH is such a great place for a women, and

that’s why all these women are there!” Finola Hughes says egos are checked at the door at the studio, “I don’t feel that, or see egos. Michelle coming in to the show was amazing. Maura is a powerhouse, and that bubbling under the surface thing she does scares the you-know-what out of me. Then, I get to work with Vinessa Antoine (Jordan) all the time, and I adore her. Then there is Jane Elliot, who is just so superior and strong, and then Nancy Lee Grahn. She is one of the great listeners in this profession. On GH, Nancy and my paths do cross, because we are on the same side of the law. All of the other women I can’t really talk to, unless my character is arresting them!” 2014 saw one of the biggest water cooler moments of the year, when a disturbed Nina Clay drugged her arch nemesis, Ava Jerome, with two syringes - one to paralyze her and then another

to induce labor - in her plot to kidnap Ava’s newborn baby and make it her own. The scenes between Maura West and Michelle Stafford were can’t miss TV, and put these women in some very emotionally draining, and dark scenes. Michelle discussed how she and Maura were able to create the scenes: “When you have a rival female character to play off of you, there has to be a lot of affinity between the two people, or some sort of understanding between them, to make it work. It’s as important as a love story. Maura really sold it. When she had the heavy lifting, she really needed me to be there in the scene with her, and vice versa. Your partner is so important, and Maura is the best partner... the best!” Maura echoed: “This is like a mutual admiration society! I feel the same for her, and I will say this: there’s always this idea that women actors are vying for something, they’re fighting for something, and they must not like each other, and that there’s always that sort of edge to it. It’s just not the truth. When I worked with Michelle in all those scenes, I trusted her. An actor will come into the scene wanting to lift you up as a scene partner - or suck you down and Michelle lifts you up. On General Hospital, there are so many actors that are the same. They lift you up. They want it to be good. I’m so grateful for Michelle for those scenes. I was so concerned about it. I remember leaving the studio in tears going, ‘What am I doing?’ Then I saw them on the screen, and I was like, ‘Thank God. I love them!’” Finola Hughes weighed-in on the scenes between the dynamic duo: “It was very intense. It was extraordinary, and they made it work. Maura playing the devastation was phenomenal, and Michelle making that insanity work. There was a very light touch Michelle had on certain speeches, which was sort of unnerving, because she was almost removed from the situation, and in her own head, which I thought was a key. There was a lot of spookiness on how she delivered those.” While widely lauded and praised for their work, Finola, Maura, and Michelle still are appreciative and thrilled to have won Daytime Emmys for their work, as voted on by their peers.

Hughes has won once, while Stafford and West have won twice each. The ladies agreed that their initial victory was quite memorable, but for different reasons. Finola took the Lead Actress prize in 1991, but she could not attend. “I had to go back to England to get a green card,” she recalled, “And it just so happened to coincide with the Emmys, and I had to do it, or I couldn’t stay in the country.” But Hughes did have a celebration of sorts upon hearing her name was called, “I was in London at the time, and probably at my interview at the British Consulate. I had been out with my brother, and I got back to my hotel, and I had forgotten about it. When I came back, there was a telegram, saying ‘Congratulations!’ When I got back to LA, my dressing room was decorated like crazy. It was really sweet. A couple of my friends had ballooned it out and I could barely open the door!” West recalled her first win in 2007: “I said to my kids before I left to come to LA for the ceremony, ‘What should I do if I win?’ And my son Joe knew what I was wearing of course, which was this gown, and you know I don’t dress like that every day! He said, ‘You should curtsy.’ I said, ‘Well that’s it! I’ve gotta curtsy!’ The win meant so much to my husband, to my family, to the people who love me, and people who watch my work every day, and my parents, too. I always wanted an Emmy for other people. I never wanted it for myself. I wanted it, because I wanted my children to see their mom. I so wanted it for my grandma, before she passed, to see her granddaughter do this.” Michelle Stafford’s first win was a mixed bag: “It was not the most fun night of my life, until Drake Hogestyn (John, DAYS) said, ‘Michelle Stafford’ when he opened the envelope. I was absolutely stunned. I didn’t even know what to say! I used the word ‘dynamite’ in my speech, like have you ever heard me say ‘dynamite’? Where does that come from? It’s like from my freaking twin soul sister! It was so funny!” Hughes, Stafford, and West play three very complex women on GH: One is a federal agent trying to uphold the law, one is trying to put the pieces of her life together after losing 20

years being in a coma, and the other is gangster who has murdered and manipulated people to get what she wants, desperate to be a mother to her newborn daughter, while she tries to survive cancer! “Ava’s gone through so much and is still kicking, that’s me, and that’s her,” Maura says passionately. “It’s a pleasure as an actress to have a complete rainbow of a character to play.” As for Nina, Michelle Stafford says she wants her character to still be teetering on the edge: “I really don’t want her stabilized. I think that’s boring. I think it’s very real that she’s unstable. There are many people in life like that. I want her to have that element, where she is fabulous, but underneath she is completely unhinged, where she could lose it at anytime.” As for agent Anna Devane, it looks like she may have a new love interest in her rival Agent Sloane (Grayson McCouch). Finola noted it’s nice to have some sexuallycharged scenes as a veteran actress on a soap: “We are not dead yet! It’s fun.” As for the array of girl power in Port Charles, and the TV landscape, Hughes summed it up best: “It’s very cool to be a woman working on GH. I think it’s cool to be a woman working on television. It’s a good time right now for all of us.” Emmy Almanac | 2015 Edition

Days of our Lives turns

A celebration of love, heartbreak, and drama in the afternoon. By Michael Fairman

If you think making it to 50 in the world of daytime drama is an easy feat, think again! Just speak to the actors and the producers, or anyone behind the scenes that has worked on Days of our Lives, and they will tell you that it’s really not that surprising that the series has made it to this milestone. The longest running scripted series in NBC television history will have its golden anniversary on November 8th, 2015. The show premiered back in 1965 when conversations were happening in black and white in the Horton family living room. While the times have changed, one key theme has remained a constant… family. The series created by Ted and Betty Corday has continued its family legacy with son Ken Corday as the series executive producer. Family struggles, triumphs, loves, and tragedies have been a hallmark of the show, as well as devastating heartbreak, groundbreaking stories, and the shocking and the outrageous. Being part of the first family of Salem, the Hortons, is a badge of honor for any performer, as well as following in the footsteps of series patriarch and matriarch, the late MacDonald Carey (Tom Horton) and Frances Reid (Alice Horton). Long time cast member Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Horton) recalls when she found out she would be a member of this most notable of all on-screen clans: “People were like, ‘What? You’re gonna be a Horton? That’s a good thing!’ I was like, ‘Oh good. OK, great. Does that name mean something in this town?’ I have come to realize the enormity of it.” The camaraderie of those fortunate enough to be part of the DAYS ensemble has 80

always been very special and unique. Alison Sweeney, who appeared on the soap for almost 22 years as Sami Brady, related, “When I think of all my big life moments - the DAYS cast and crew have been there. The camera guys had to approve my boyfriend. There were two tables of DAYS people at my wedding. They survived my pregnancies with me... you name it!” Throughout its 50 years, DAYS has tackled groundbreaking and emotional issues including the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) storyline involving new mother Marlena (Deidre Hall) back in 1980. “I was approached about the story, because there was a great debate among the executives as to whether the ‘Crib Death’ should happen to the audience, or whether they should be warned about it, and get to tune-in from a safe place.” Hall recalled, “At the end of the day, it was decided that when a woman walks into that room and finds her baby has died, she doesn’t get a warning. So to do service to those people, we would not warn the audience about it. We got phone calls, and thousands of letters from people saying, ‘Oh, my gosh! It happened to Marlena the way it happened to me.’ It was a moving storyline for a huge number of fans that have been through it, and it was cathartic. It was certainly a first for daytime. In 2014, DAYS wrote a same-sex gay male wedding between two core characters, another first for daytime. Alison Sweeney watched her on-screen son Will (Guy Wilson) take his vows to Sonny (Freddie Smith). She

recalls it was quite the tearjerker… for her: “I still groan about how I was such a mess during that wedding. I couldn’t stop crying! I kept looking at Bryan Datillo (Lucas) because he and I used to joke about some day playing grandparents on the show, and to be actually seeing ‘Will’ get married was just very emotional.” While DAYS brings the drama, it has also been known for the outrageous! Look no further than former head writer, the late James Reilly, whose twisted plots included burying a character alive, and Marlena’s possession by the devil! Ken Corday remembers when the plots were pitched: “Originally, I would say to Jim, ‘Are you serious? You are going to bury someone alive for a week and half?’ And, ‘They are going to puke green soup, and their head is going to spin around? No, no, no!’ But, again, the way it was woven into the fabric of the show it was just as effective as the baby-switch stories we have told. The outrageousness in the 90’s seemed to work really well.

days the viewers are a little savvier.” Kristian Alfonso, who has played the popular Hope Williams Brady for decades, was really put to the test when she played multiple roles mostly at the same time: Hope, Princess Gina, Hope as Princess Gina, and Princess Gina playing Hope. “If they had told me that it was going to be as big of story as it was, with all these different characters, I totally would have panicked. I thought, ‘How am I going to do this? How am I going to learn my lines… her lines…… this one’s lines,” Alfonso shared. “Trying to keep straight who knew what, and when they knew it, and playing opposite myself, was so challenging. I remember I would fall asleep with my scripts on my chest. But, it was the most amazing experience as an actress.” Super couples have also been synonymous with Days of our Lives, from: Bo and Hope, Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kimberly, Justin and Adrienne, Marlena and John, to the show’s original super couple… Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie Williams)… who were the first soap stars ever on the cover of a mainstream magazine, TIME, back in 1976. When Doug and Julie got married on the air for the first time, most of America tuned-in! “There were 16 million people watching, it was that big of a deal,” Bill Hayes said. “We had students not go to class. People wouldn’t go to work, because back then you couldn’t tape the show!” Susan added, “Fans sent snap shots of everyone they knew dressed up, and having champagne and cake in honor of Doug and Julie’s wedding.” Clockwise from top left: Suzanne Rogers, John Clarke, MacDonald Carey, Frances Reid

As to the success of the super couples of Salem, Ken Corday says he can’t take credit: “I never invented the idea of the super couple; that was really the viewers. It was kind of the perfect storm. Everyone who we cast at the time seemed to have the “IT” factor. Then when the actors would get thronged during public appearances, we realized this is something we need to run with and not ignore.” Days of our Lives has had its share of Daytime Emmy winning moments, and none more special than enduring veteran Suzanne Rogers’ (Maggie) winning the very first Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy back in 1979. Rogers recalled: “I remember sitting there, and Frances Reid was in my category! Oh, my God! So, they were presenting the category and named all the nominees. I was the last one, because “Rogers” was after “Reid”. Then, the late Al Freeman Jr., who presented the award, announced: “And the winner is “Susan”… and Susan Brown from GH is in front of me. I lean forward and say “Congratulations!”… and he says “Rogers”… “Suzanne Rogers!” There were about 17 steps down the aisle, and then more to get up to the stage! All I could think of was ‘Don’t fall!’ I couldn’t believe it!” No matter what’s on the screen, Days of our Lives would not be where it is today without its passionate fans who have stuck with the show through its ups and its downs. Daytime Emmy winner Eric Martsolf (Brady) relates: “I’m one of those crazy guys that actually does a lot of fan events during the year. I love the flight home from these events, because it makes me

remember and realize why we’re doing it. I think we can easily forget that we just come to our little warehouse in Burbank, and we do our little skits, and we go home. But the fact is; there are people out there that depend on us, and these stories. I was talking to a 16-year-old-girl at an event I did in Florida. She had several operations and she had special needs. She came right up to me and said, ‘You saved my life. I just wanted to let you know.’ It was that simple, and that made that trip worth it. I love the fans. We all know we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them in the first place.” As the anniversary approaches, the iconic MacDonald Carey and Frances Reid are no longer with us, but their presence still reverberates throughout the show. The soap’s opening, to this day, is still voiced by Carey with its signature line: “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives.” Kristian Alfonso remarked: “We keep them alive on the show; we talk about them. They’re our family. The love I had, and still have, is enormous for both of them. I miss them very much.” The chair that still sits in the Horton family living room set belonged to Alice Horton, and as the show continues its unbelievable run, could that privilege be handed down to another generation? Melissa Reeves, who was close to Reid, and plays granddaughter Jennifer, shared, “It would be much more of an honor than I can even fully understand, because that was Francis, and that was huge to me. To think that I would ever be that person in her place is kind of mind blowing. I hope we keep going, and are show continues to live on.”

Technology and Engineering Lifetime Achievement Award

Kazuo Hirai Hirai made the PlayStat ion® brand synonymous with exceptional gaming and entertainment.

Sony’s Kazuo Hirai is the 2015 recipient of the Technology and Engineering Lifetime Achievement Award from The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In his 30year career at Sony, Kazuo Hirai worked his way up from an entry-level job that occasionally involved translating when artists such as the Beastie Boys toured Japan to become the president and chief executive of Sony Corporation. “With his wide grasp of our fast-changing digital world, from his leadership marketing international music through Sony Music Entertainment, his successful stewardship of Sony’s PlayStation® business and his integration and innovation across all of Sony’s consumer electronics products and services, Kazuo Hirai has proven to be a visionary in the evolution of technology in our industry,” said Seth Haberman, co-chairman, NATAS Engineering Achievement Committee, in announcing the honors. The committee’s chairman, Robert P. Seidel, Vice President of CBS Engineering and Advanced Technology, cited Hirai’s “leadership, innovation and vision in helping to set the standards for technological excellence in our industry.” Hirai was born in Tokyo in December 1960, and starting at age 6, spent several years of his childhood 86

living in Canada as well as New York City, where he attended Public School 13 in Queens. In addition to giving him fluency in English as well as Japanese, that dual cultural experience aided his career by allowing him to look at issues “from both perspectives,” Hirai said. “When I make business decisions, I’m able to articulate why that decision was made the way it was, from a cultural as well as a business perspective, which is so important in managing a global company involved in many different businesses. Moreover, Hirai said, in business, sometimes the best strategy is to “agree to disagree. And I’m comfortable with that, because people just have so many different backgrounds culturally, demographically, age, gender, and you learn to embrace that diversity a lot more than a lot of Japanese folks because it’s a pretty homogenous society. And I was fortunate to be exposed to different perspectives at a young age.” After graduating from the International Christian University in Tokyo, Hirai joined CBS/Sony Inc. now Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) (SMEJ), in 1984, partly because, he once told the Wall Street Journal, he believed the company offered “a ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ lifestyle.” He worked in the marketing of international music in Japan, and later ran the international business affairs department. He subsequently led the marketing of SMEJ artists in the U.S., from the New York office. “I wanted to be able to work in an environment where, I can come to work wearing jeans; where it was a lot more liberal, and less burdened by protocol,” Hirai said. After more than a decade in music, Hirai moved to Sony Computer Entertainment America, in 1995, just after the company launched PlayStation®, its rival to Nintendo Co.

Clockwise from top left: Hirai started his career marketing international music in Japan. Cars are among Hirai’s many interests. Hirai was appointed as President and CEO of Sony Corporation in 2012, succeeding Sir Howard Stringer. As head of Sony, Hirai manages a global company involved in many different businesses.

Four years later he was appointed its president and chief operating officer, responsible for operational management of the company’s U.S. videogame business, and in 2003 he was elevated to chief executive officer. Of his interest in moving from music to video gaming, Hirai tells an anecdote: in September 1995, the day PlayStation® launched was also the publication day for an English CD album for a Japanese artist, which Hirai had worked on. “After going to all the record shops around town without finding the album, I went to check out the PlayStation® because I was helping them out…and see what’s going on,” he recalls. Lines were forming around the videogame retailers. “And I realize that both are exports from Japan, but, there’s obviously a huge market for the PlayStation®.” Hirai was a high-profile leader for PlayStation®, promoting it at the E3 trade show in Los Angeles, and it quickly became a profitable hit, helping elevate video games in the U.S. as an entire alternative entertainment genre. By 2006, he was made president and group chief operating officer of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (and group chief executive officer in June 2007), which extended his responsibilities to the company’s worldwide game business, and gave him a mandate to turn around the just-launched money-losing PlayStation® 3. That turnaround became one of the major accomplishments of Hirai’s Sony career. “That there is a book right there!” Hirai said when asked of how he approached the challenge. Broadly, he said, he changed the device’s positioning, emphasizing that it was “first and foremost a video game console and not a supercomputer for the home, and all the other stuff that everybody was trying to make it to be. Later, we talked about all the other things that you can do besides gaming on the PS3™.” 88

The growth of the PlayStation® Network laid the foundation for Sony’s subsequent expansion into other online networked services. In 2009 Hirai was named president of Sony Corporation’s Networked Products & Services Group, and a Corporate Executive Officer, and two years later, the President of Sony’s Consumer Products & Services Group, overseeing Sony’s entire portfolio of consumer electronics products and digital networked services. In April 2012, Hirai moved up to the top as Sony Corporation’s President and CEO, Representative Corporate Executive Officer, succeeding Sir Howard Stringer, (who was honored in 2010 with a Technology and Engineering Lifetime Achievement Award.) In June of that year Hirai was named as a Director of the Sony board. Harkening back to the lessons of his multicultural childhood, Hirai said his exposure early on to diversity “helps when running such a diverse, global business like Sony. “The fact that I joined a music company from which I went to a video game company, then managing the electronics business, and finally being given the responsibility for the entire organization, even within Sony, I think I’ve been very fortunate to be able to have that diverse experience, and therefore, very divergent perspectives,” he said. Music employees are different from the financial services employees, “but we all work for Sony. So, because I’ve been to a lot of these different places…I’d like to think that I’m a little bit more sensitive to the differences of the business units, or the various businesses that we’re in.” Hirai’s increasing responsibilities have not left as much time for his outside pursuits: “cameras, bikes, watches, cars, A/V equipment, radio controlled models, plastic models, model railroading, I love all that stuff.” But he said, he always tries to switch off for at least some period on the weekends, whether it’s an hour or 24 hours. And he adds, “I always say this as well: I don’t worry about stuff I can’t control.”

Early Television Technology By Ryan Salazar

A Technology and Engineering Emmy Award is given by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS); the 66th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy速 Awards were held in conjunction with The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at The Bellagio Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV. Honoring the creation, development and innovation for revolutionary technological advances, the Technology and Engineering Awards recognize companies, organizations and individuals for their significant achievements in television engineering. Since 1948, an individual, company, or a scientific or technical organization considered for such an award for advancements has created something that may have led to standardization in engineering processes which are either a vast improvement on an existing method or are so innovative in and of themselves that they have affected the transmission, recording, or reception of television. The award is determined by a special NATAS panel composed of highly qualified, experienced engineers in the television industry.

While television was first viewed as a fad, as most advances usually are, it maintained its hold until it became a mainstay of life. It’s now rare that you walk into a home in the U.S. and not find a television and, more and more, a large flat screen mounted to the wall, capable of high resolution and, possibly, even 3D. In all the recent talk of 4K and even 8K television, it’s hard to remember a time in our nation when we didn’t have a single TV in the house, let alone several. Before television, radio was the pinnacle of electronic home entertainment. Radio made its first successful trans-Atlantic transmission at the dawn of the 20th century. Strangely enough, the first televisions weren’t even electronic. The first machine that could record and reproduce sound, the phonograph, wasn’t electronic, either - it was mechanical. Edison brought us this machine in the late 1870’s. Radio, the result of many brilliant minds, conversely, was electric. The word “television” was coined in the year 1900. Instant transmission of some of these mechanically created images (via radio waves) did not begin until almost 10 years later. These early televisions worked by a wide variety of means. The ‘Image Rasterizer’ used what they called a Nipkow disk (after its creator, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, who patented the device in 1884) to create images. Essentially, the disk had several holes in it and the image viewed could be reproduced by shining a light into the disk as it was rapidly spun. Another version of mechanical television used a mechanical motor combined with an arrangement of 64 selenium cells. This early system produced an 8x8 pixel image resolution just clear enough to transmit the image of single letters of the alphabet. Another method for mechanical image transmission included spinning mirrors. It wasn’t until purely later, when television technology began to be explored in earnest, that any lasting progress was made. Philo Farnsworth is known as the father of television, because he obtained patents at a very young age as he sought to create the ideal television and he had to fight several legal battles (patent disputes) with big business to get his due. It was with the help of his high school chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, that he was able to obtain his greatest victory against a major corporation and gain royalties for past and future use of his invention. Farnsworth’s image dissector was a vastly important component of early electronic televisions. One of the greatest technological achievements in the television industry was the Kinescope recording process. 92

Long before we could “tape a show” or digitally record it for playback on the myriad of handheld devices now available, television was live and there was no process in place to record it – the reason that so many early television shows survive only as memories in those old enough to have been around in the early days of television. Let’s go back and see how it all started… From early television trials in the 1920’s and 1930’s, “broadcast engineers” (a term unheard of in the day but what those who came after these pioneers would later be known as) dabbled in capturing television transmissions. If they existed, they should be able to be contained. Working diligently on the problem, Dr. Frank Grey of Bell Labs developed the first telerecording equipment in February, 1929 and, later in 1930, General Electric’s Schenectady New York “House

of Magic” Labs were able to obtain experimental television images on film. Filming a television monitor was not any one man’s idea, however; wherever there was television, someone had the idea to film a television monitor as it was being transmitted. Fast-forward to 1945, when television certainly had taken hold in the United States. It wasn’t long before broadcasters realized that they needed a system in order to record their live television broadcasts either for archival purposes or for later use. For example, there was a three hour time difference between New York and Los Angeles; in order for programs that occurred live in New York to be seen in Los Angeles, something had to be developed in order to accomplish this feat. The only real medium that existed at the time was movie film. The television networks NBC and Dumont joined forces with Kodak and created the Eastman Television Recorder which was, essentially, a 16mm sound film camera (and later a 35mm sound camera) attached to a television set. The device was dubbed “Kinescope” and it became the standard process for capturing television programs. Comedian Milton Berle’s 1949 Emmy win as “Most Outstanding Kinescope Personality,” along with The Texaco Star Theater’s Emmy Award for “Best Kinescope Show,” demonstrates the importance of the process during the era of early television. With NBC, CBS and Dumont setting up their Kinescope facilities in New York and ABC setting up there is in Chicago in the early 1950’s, hundreds of film prints were being shipped across country to network affiliates for broadcast. In fact, by 1954, television using film surpassed that of Hollywood. The term “bicycling” was used to refer to this practice of distributing the Kinescopes to all the network affiliates. But there were problems. A story citing NBC in the July 17, 1948 issue of Billboard estimates that it cost $480 - $1,000 (or $3,600 - $7,500 in today’s dollars) per hour to “Kinescope” a live program. In addition, there was an issue with the actual process. Film cameras run at a speed of 24 frames-per-second (fps); television images have a speed of 30 fps. Workarounds to accommodate the extra 6 frames of film per second were devised, but another process needed to be invented. Crooner Bing Crosby experimented with the videotape process as early as 1951. However, it wasn’t until 1956 until videotape became increasingly used; networks were slow to convert from the Kinescope process to this new form of recording. At the time, videotape was crude and could not handle color or slow-motion. It seemed to just add another process to a system that was already working well. In addition, a video tape recorder ran about 94

$50,000.00 (about $335,000.00 in today’s dollars), so it was a costly investment. Naturally, the bulky videotape machines became smaller and were adapted for home consumer use. There are still quite a few people around who remember the great JVC VHS versus Sony Betamax wars, and I don’t think I have to go into who won that war do I? But those were for commercial use; the old Kinescope method evolved into the process that is used today throughout the industry. Whenever content is recorded today, it’s usually created in digital format and saved on a hard disk drive (much like the one inside your home computer) or various other devices like SD Cards or things similar. In this way, the program is easily transferred onto a shared storage system for easy access to complete the post production process. It is during this time that the program is edited and has graphics added (such as titles, music, or other special effects – like explosions and the like). Aside from the actual capturing of the content, the post-production process can take a little time. “Bicycling” has been replaced by electronic transfers. For larger distribution schemes, electronic broadcast distributors are considered the “common carrier of video” and transfer most of the digital video files around the globe, reaching every outlet that requires the file for broadcasting. It is these companies that are truly the worldwide traffic magicians, ensuring that our favorite programs reach us. The files are sent to all stations, and can even be tracked via digital watermark attached within the file that is hidden when broadcast (in other words, we can’t see it) but can be sensed with electronic equipment. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find where an award was given for the creation and development of the Kinescope process. However, an Emmy Award was given in 1957 to Ampex, for its hand in the creation of the video tape recorder.

The 2015 Sports Emmy Awards ®

Honors the Industry’s Top Professionals

The sports world gathers in New York on May 5th for the 36th Annual Sports Emmy Awards. With a record-setting number of entries, and more and more participation from a variety of outlets , the competition shapes up to be one of the most suspenseful ever. “The quality of sports television continues to shine as the coverage available to the consumer in multiple formats grows exponentially,” said Bob Mauro, President of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). ESPN’s family of networks and websites led the number of nominees with 57. The network’s flagship, SportsCenter, has seven nominations as does E:60, a weekly investigative journalism newsmagazine show. ESPN’s coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, led by some dramatic US games and Germany’s blitz to the championship, netted six nominations. Steve Ulrich The one telecast that received the most nominations was NBC’s coverage Executive Director of the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. The thousands of hours of Sports Emmy® Awards coverage on five networks and an associated website leads the list with 15 nominations. The NBC Sports Group totaled 42 nominations behind ESPN, with the FOX Sports Media Group in third with 26 nominations. Rounding out the nominations leaderboard: CBS and Turner Sports with 18, baseball’s media outlets of MLB Network and MLB.com with 17, HBO with 12 and NFL Media with eight. This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award honoree is George Bodenheimer, the former ESPN Executive Chairman and President. “The National Academy is awarding this year’s Sports Lifetime Achievement Award to an individual who helped change the landscape of sports broadcasting globally,” said Mauro. “Working his way up from the mailroom, George Bodenheimer became its longest-tenured President while leading ESPN to an unprecedented period of global growth. His guiding hand in a multiplicity of new networks and platforms has made ESPN synonymous with sports content ‘anytime and anywhere.’ Bodenheimer will join the ranks of Ted Turner, Roone Arledge, Al Michaels, Jim McKay, Howard Cosell, Dick Enberg, Pat Summerall, Jack Whitaker, Frank Gifford, Keith Jackson, Jack Buck and John Madden who have been bestowed this honor in the past. During the ceremony, the sports television community will pause to honor those who have passed away since the previous Emmy celebration. In the past year, we have lost Tony Verna, the long-time director for CBS who is credited as the inventor of the instant replay, Rhonda Glenn, the first woman to be a full-time network sportscaster for ESPN in 1981 and Stuart Scott, the SportsCenter anchor who brought a new style and language to the world of sports tv. Perhaps fittingly, Scott is a nominee this year in the Outstanding Sports Personality – Studio Host category. 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 Emmys were awarded that year; currently the Sports awards celebrate 40 categories consisting of sports programming, sports talent and the craft awards including editing, writing and graphic design.

Sports Emmy® Lifetime Achievement Award

By Ed Sherman

It seems to be an unofficial mandate. Every story about George Bodenheimer has to state that he started in the mailroom at ESPN. Bodenheimer himself referred to it in the title of his new autobiography: “Every Town is a Sports Town: Business Leadership at ESPN from the Mailroom to the Boardroom.” Now there’s another amendment to the line: From the mailroom to winning this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Sports at the 36th Annual Sports Emmy Awards. To fully understand Bodenheimer and his immense accomplishments at ESPN, it is incumbent to go back to the day in 1981 when, as a recent graduate of Denison 104

University, he interviewed at ESPN. Bodenheimer was dejected at being offered a mailroom position with an annual salary of $8,000. His father convinced him to take the job. “He said it was a career decision, not a money decision,” Bodenheimer said. Quickly, Bodenheimer found himself caught up in the whirlwind of ESPN. The network was in its relative infancy still trying to find its way. The young Bodenheimer was molded by that culture -- the passion to serve sports viewers; the try-anything innovation; and the team mentality of pulling together for a common goal. When Bodenheimer became president of ESPN in 1998, he carried on that legacy. “When you’re president of ESPN, people want to know what your strategy is for going forward?” Bodenheimer said. “I would say: ‘We’d try many things. Those that work, we keep doing and try to make better all the time, and those that don’t work, we stop doing. That’s our strategy.’” As it turns out, it was a winning game plan for Bodenheimer and ESPN. At the end of his 13year tenure, Bodenheimer had presided over a period unprecedented growth, change and innovation that enabled the ESPN to claim: • Eight domestic television networks, up from four. • 12 HD services, from 0. • Nearly 100 million households for ESPN and ESPN2, from 75 and 62 million, respectively. • 48 international television networks, from 20. • 18 web sites, from one. • 7,000 employees worldwide, from 1,900. • Exclusive multimedia rights for NFL Monday Night Football and NASCAR. • A wide-ranging, multimedia, multi-year agreement with the NBA. • The creation of popular studio shows like “Pardon the Interruption.” • Programming outside the network’s traditional event and news/information offerings, as exemplified by the critically acclaimed “30 for 30” film project. • Growth of the Bristol (Conn.) Campus to 116 acres (from 39), 18 buildings (from eight) and 1.3 million square feet (from 260,000), as well as a state-of-the-art production facility in Los Angeles opened in 2009, and a second Digital Center in Bristol that opened in 2014.

Little wonder that Bodenheimer’s friend and the current ESPN president, John Skipper, declared: “George is the most influential person in the history of this company. He is the guy who built ESPN from the great idea it was into the most significant, most influential multi-platform company in the world.” Chuck Pagano, ESPN’s former chief technology officer, said: “George was the right man at the right time for ESPN.” But early on, it didn’t seem that way. As Bodenheimer recalls: “I had people telling me, ‘You’re not going to be able to grow the company beyond where it is today. It’s already a success. Good luck.’” Instead, Bodenheimer took ESPN’s mantra of “Serve sports fan, anytime, anywhere” to a new level. That meant finding new opportunities in an ever-changing media landscape. Edwin Durso, ESPN’s executive vice-president of administration, said Bodenheimer had an “irrepressible optimism” that inspired people working for him. There was a feeling that anything was possible if executed in the proper manner. “George was the guiding hand,” Durso said. “He would ask, ‘Are we serving fans? Does it stay true to our core? Do we have confidence we can pull it off? Are we taking prudent risks to grow the business?’ He asked the questions and then had confidence in people to perform well.” Bodenheimer is a bit more humble about his approach, and he points to the time when ESPN rolled out its version of the mobile phone as an example. In the wake of the much-hyped phone launch, Bodenheimer introduced himself to Steve Jobs at a Disney board meeting. Jobs told Bodenheimer, “I hate your phone,” and walked away. Although it stung at the time, Bodenheimer uses the mobile phone story as an illustration of the philosophy that helped ESPN achieve its dominant stature. “We were on the wrong business model in ‘05,” Bodenheimer said. “But all the people we hired and the software we were working on ended up driving ESPN mobile and its commanding market share today. That’s just another example of how you’ve got to be willing to embrace change and not just sit there with your existing models.” The mobile phone story, with its early reversal and eventual success, underscores another aspect of Bodenheimer’s tenure and personal business philosophy. “His message to us was, ‘Empower people to lead,’” said Rosa Gatti, former ESPN senior vice-president of corporate communications. “You never know where an idea might come from. He felt if we can work together as a team, we can achieve great things as a company.”

From his early day in the mailroom through his tenure in the boardroom, Bodenheimer came to believe that the concept of family was embedded in the culture at Bristol. He referred to it as ESPN’s “strategic advantage.” “I was at plenty of 50-yard lines and court-side seats, and I loved that all,” Bodenheimer said. “But the best part of the job for me was watching the ESPN people work together.” Bodenheimer helped advance this familial concept with a blend of innate humility and a personal touch that informed his interactions with everyone from new ESPN employees to the highest figures in sports. Bodenheimer always was a picture of calm and civility, even during negotiations with commissioners and top sports executives, said Skipper. “George always told me, ‘It’s just business,’” Skipper said. “That meant personalizing any of this would be a big mistake. People had complete trust in George.” Bodenheimer built on that trust when he pushed the company to become more involved with the local community and at the charitable level. He helped launch the V Foundation, which has raised more than $130 million for cancer research. “It’s important that they know that their company stands for something beyond simply making money,” Bodenheimer said. Bodenheimer often is asked where he sees ESPN going in the future? He has a standard reply: “I don’t know. I don’t know if we’re going to be watching sports from the inside of a coffee cup or on clouds when we’re sitting on the beach. But I do know that ESPN will be working very hard to be there and be there first because that’s what the culture of the company demands.” Bodenheimer’s own demands will keep him busy as well. He sits on the boards of SiriusXM and Under Armour. He travels around the country promoting his new book and fulfilling speaking engagements. He is also the chairman of the V Foundation’s capital campaign, to which he is donating all the proceeds from his book. Bodenheimer’s stop in New York to receive his Lifetime Achievement Emmy will not be the first nor last recognition of an exceptional man and his achievements. Friends and family expect Bodenheimer to be typically humble and accept the award on behalf of ESPN. Pagano, though, says there will be an immense sense of pride for people who knew and came to admire the one-time kid in the mail room. “For people who have been around him all these years, we’re going to be so proud for him,” Pagano said. “He’s such a class act and so deserving of this award.” Emmy Almanac | 2015 Edition

The 35th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards ®

An Exciting Time for News & Documentary

In its 36th year, the mission of the News & Documentary Emmy® Awards remains the same as when the competition was founded in 1979: honoring the films and reports that exemplify the core values at the heart of broadcast news and documentary filmmaking, while also rewarding the innovators who push the profession to evolve and grow. Our 2014 Lifetime Achievement honoree, William J. Small, embodied both of these qualities. Bill Small was the legendary chief of the CBS News Washington bureau during it’s heyday in the 1960’s and 70’s, what Roger Mudd has called the “glory days” of TV news. While not exactly a household name, Mr. Small is revered in the TV news business as the driving force behind one of the most important and accomplished national bureaus in the history of the craft. He is widely acknowledged by his peers as having helped to create the standards for David Winn excellence in reporting that broadcast journalists strive to meet today. Senior Vice President Bill Small had an incredible eye for journalistic talent. He put together a News and Documentary seminal team of producers and reporters at CBS—Eric Sevareid, Roger Mudd, Emmy® Awards Marvin Kalb, Daniel Schorr, Harry Reasoner, Dan Rather, Bob Schieffer, Ed Bradley, Bernard Shaw, and Bill Moyers among them. In addition, his aggressive recruitment of women journalists diversified the profession at a time when women were extremely underrepresented in network news. Diane Sawyer, Lesley Stahl, Susan Zirinsky, Connie Chung, Martha Teichner and Rita Braver were among the many talented women journalists brought into the profession by Mr. Small during his tenure. Small drove and inspired his team to distinguished coverage of some of the most historic events of the second half of the twentieth century. Bill Small embraced change while upholding the highest standards of the profession, and the National Television Academy is proud to acknowledge him for his achievements. The 1960’s and 70’s were without question a critical period in the evolution of broadcast news, but one should perhaps be wary of thinking of the period as a kind of golden age. Like the current moment, the period was one of transition. The main driver of change today, as everyone knows, is technology. Technological innovation is disrupting old business models, but at the same time the present is a period of incredible opportunity. Legacy media is busy exploiting the possibilities unleashed by new technology while new players like Vice News, which recently announced that it will produce a daily 30-minute newscast to air on HBO, are demonstrating that it’s possible to produce high quality video journalism that appeals to a younger audience. Often digital upstarts are presented as implacable opponents of legacy media, but the reality is more complicated. In many ways, the two are becoming more and more alike. Legacy media is in the process of fully embracing the possibilities of new media (which, after all, isn’t all that new anymore), while new media upstarts are becoming more like their old media counterparts. They are producing video and multimedia projects that stretch the form while striving to adhere to the best practices that have guided the profession for the last half century. One area where we might be justified in declaring the current period a “golden age” is that of documentary filmmaking. Viewers’ hunger for “reality” seems only to grow with each passing year, and more documentaries, on a 106

wider range of subjects, are being produced today than ever before. And while documentaries often differ from news reporting in that they are as much a part of the tradition of cinema as of journalism, and are more about taking the long view than reporting the news of the moment, they are increasingly giving the news divisions a run for their money when it comes to breaking news. To cite just two of many recent examples, revelations uncovered by filmmaker Andrew Jarecki in his recent HBO true crime doc, “The Jinx”, contributed to the arrest for murder of New York real estate scion Robert Durst (generating no small amount of controversy in the process, and raising questions about just how well good journalism and dramatic storytelling go together). And documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras was instrumental in breaking the story of the NSA’s global electronic surveillance program through her work with the Guardian newspaper and journalist Glenn Greenwald. The Guardian US won a Pulitzer Prize last year for it’s reporting on the Edward Snowden revelations, and Poitras’ resulting film, “Citizen Four”, won an Oscar. In addition the Guardian US won a News & Doc Emmy last year for “NSA Decoded”, an interactive explanatory multimedia feature that explores the issues raised by its original reporting on the Snowden revelations. The technological and economic obstacles to making a documentary lower than they’ve ever been, and there is arguably more experimentation with the form than ever before, from animated documentaries, to the use of stylized reenactments of the kind pioneered by Errol Morris in “The Thin Blue Line” and more recently Joshua Oppenheimer’s remarkable “The Act of Killing”, to multimedia and transmedia projects that attempt to engage the viewer in a more interactive and collaborative way. And at the leading edge of innovation are virtual reality and video game-like projects that pose fundamental challenges to the way documentary films and news report have traditionally been conceived. Golden age or not, it’s an exciting time for journalism and documentary filmmaking, and we at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards look forward to honoring the best of what’s to come.

News & Documentary Emmy® Lifetime Achievement Award

MR. SMALL

A Force for Journalistic Excellence in the Glory Days of TV News A simple list of names conveys the enormity of William J. Small’s impact on the television news business. Dan By Elizabeth Jensen Rather. Diane Sawyer. Bill Moyers. Bob Schieffer. Bernard Shaw. Connie Chung. Lesley Stahl. Ed Bradley. These giants of the business, and many more well-known names from in front of the camera and behind it, in some way owe their television careers to Small, this year’s lifetime achievement honoree. Small—or “Mr. Small” as he was invariably referred to—ran the legendary CBS News Washington bureau from 1962 to 1974, and then was promoted to senior vice president, director of news and a corporate vice president. Later, he was the president of NBC News, the president of United Press International and the dean of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business. But it was from his post as Washington bureau chief during the formative years in the television news business that he first made his lasting mark, his insightful talent choices and driving work ethos helping shape the business for the decades to follow.

A Chicago native who earned his master’s degree from the University of Chicago after an Army stint, Small started his broadcast career in radio. In 1962, he had switched to television and was running the newsroom at Louisville, Ky., CBS affiliate WHASTV, when he caught the attention of CBS News officials. As Roger Mudd chronicles in his 2008 book “The Place to Be; Washington, CBS, and the Glory Days of Television News,” soon after Small arrived at the Washington bureau, Walter Cronkite’s 15-minute “CBS Evening News” expanded into a full half-hour, ensuring that the bureau “would be the breadbasket of the CBS News operation.” Thanks to what Mudd called an “uncanny” eye for talent, Small’s bureau was stocked during his tenure with a mix of ambitious up-andcomers such as Rather and Schieffer, and seasoned pros, including Harry Reasoner, and Murrow Boys Eric Sevareid and Daniel Schorr. The list of on-air employees who came through included Marvin Kalb, Ike Pappas, Rita Braver, Bruce Morton, Martha Teichner and Martin Agronsky, and, on the production side Tom Bettag, Cindy Samuels, Ed Fouhy, and Susan Zirinsky, among others. It was, said Rather, “a pantheon of some of the best television journalists who practiced the craft.” Taming of some of the “huge egos” was a part of the job, Rather said, but no one questioned Small’s authority; he ran the bureau “with a Patton-esque fervor,” as Desmond Smith put it in a 1981 New York Magazine profile. His driven correspondents helped contribute to a turnaround for CBS, as the evening newscast surpassed “NBC Nightly News” in the ratings in 1968. Even more important than the network competition was the standard

Small brought to journalism overall, during an era when the monumental stories included the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Civil Rights movement. “I think it’s really important to understand that Bill preached the gospel that our role in the Washington bureau was to be a force for better journalism, and that’s almost a verbatim quote,” said Rather. Zirinsky, who started in the bureau as a desk assistant and is now the executive producer of “48 Hours,” called him “the man who set the standards for ethical reporting.” Small, she said, had a mission “and I think when you have a single thing you’re focused on and something of such import it really changes the dynamic of an industry.” In exchange, Small fiercely defended his bureau colleagues, particularly White House correspondent Rather during his tangles with the Nixon administration. “There was no one who protected his people more than Bill Small did,” said agent Richard Leibner. “He defended me at every turn, including with the Nixon White House trying to get me fired,” Rather said. “Bill gave them nothing but cold steel.” When Congress attacked Peter Davis’s “The Selling of the Pentagon” documentary, “Bill never faltered,” Rather recalled. “One of the big reasons he engenders such loyalty is he always had your back and was at your side.“ Small’s hiring choices were also notable, opening previously closed doors to women and people of color. “He really did see his role as leveling the playing field,” said Zirinsky. Not only was he her mentor, she said, “but he was someone who dealt with a college girl’s insecurity,” at one point holding a job open for her when she felt she had been promoted faster than she was ready for. When Small left for NBC in 1979, he

brought with him Mudd and Kalb, as well as his focused style. Bill Wheatley, then senior producer of “NBC Nightly News,” remembered getting a call from Small requesting that the program jump on a story. Wheatley said it would be on the next night, but Small had other ideas. “And we had it on that night,” Wheatley recalled, adding that Small “was always a good newsman and he always drove hard to get the story.” During his three years at NBC News, Small oversaw changes at the “Today” show— appointing Steve Friedman as executive producer, Willard Scott as weatherman, and Bryant Gumbel as co-host when Tom Brokaw moved up to “NBC Nightly News”—which propelled the show into a long lucrative run in first place. “Bill is a journalist’s journalist,” said Friedman. Small’s contributions to the business continued after he left NBC in 1982. At Fordham--where he was the Felix E. Larkin Professor of Communications and Director for the Center for Communications at the Graduate School of Business from 1986 to 1997, and dean from 1992 to 1994--he developed an MBA program in media management. From 2000-2010 he served as chairman of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences The author of two prize-winning books: ‘’To Kill a Messenger: Television and The Real World,’’ and ‘’Political Power and the Press,’’ Small has also served as president of the Radio-TV News Directors Association and the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, and has received each organization’s highest award, the Paul White Award and the Wells Key Award, respectively. “He is,” said Rather, “not just by consensus but virtual acclamation one of the very best television news executives in the history of the craft.” Emmy Almanac | 2015 Edition

The Next Generation

The Chapter recognizes outstanding student achievements in television production by conferring awards of merit to students in the Boston/New England region. The presentation of these awards is intended to be an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence by those studying media and journalism and to focus public attention on outstanding cultural, educational, technological entertainment, news and informational achievements by undergraduate college and/or high school students. “Lights, Camera, Action!” is a creative and instructional program created by of our Student Awards Chair and National Trustee, Danielle Mannion. The one day conference gives high school students involved in television, media and film production a chance to learn from professionals working in the industry. The day is capped off with the announcement of the Chapter’s Stu-dent Awards for Excellence. The Boston/New England NATAS Scholarship Foundation, Inc. awards a $5,000 scholarship to a high school senior that intends on declaring their ma-jor in the television or a related field and will be attending a four year undergraduate college or university.

Chicago/Midwest Chapter Who We Are

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter was founded in 1958 after an expansion call by then National President, Ed Sullivan. We are 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. Our members come from all areas of the industry and includes markets in portions of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Awards

Each year, we host the Chicago/Midwest Emmy® Award ceremony for the more than 50 television stations and production entities in our chapter (2014 will be our 56th year). The 2014 event was broadcast live for the first time in 25 years and was hosted by Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee, Today show host Tamron Hall and actor Larenz Tate. The show also included surprise presenters such as cast members from the TV sitcom “Sirens,” legendary rocker Dee Snider, Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown and a performance by R&B stalwart El Debarge. The Chicago/Midwest Chapter also inducted nine legendary TV professionals into the Chicago Silver Circle in May 2015 and six luminaries into the Milwaukee Silver Circle in October 2014. 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 made significant contributions to Chicago or Milwaukee broadcasting, or who have spent the formative years of their career in each respective city.

The Future

The chapter is dedicated to educating and helping to provide resources for the next generation of journalists. Since the establishment of our scholarship program in the mid 1990s, we have awarded more than $325,000 in scholarships to promising high school seniors, college seniors and grad students committed to broadcast journalism. In 2014, we awarded four college scholarships @ $4,000 each and three high school scholarships @ $2,500 each. We have been fortunate to have our members support these scholarships either by individually funding one, or simply contributing to the general fund. Past scholarship recipients include NBC network correspondent Peter Alexander. Each year, the chapter recognizes outstanding achievements in high school student production through the Crystal Pillar Award. The award is designed to be an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence by those studying media and journalism. College student production winners are recognized at the EMMY® Award ceremony.

Heartland Chapter Looking Back

In June 1986, the Heartland Chapter became the 17th chapter of NATAS and kicked off nearly thirty years of recognizing excellence in television and media production in the largest geographic chapter in the country. The Heartland Chapter of NATAS consists of 11 DMAs in five states: Denver, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita/Hutchinson, Omaha, Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Lincoln/Hastings-Kearney, Topeka, Grand Junction/Montrose, Cheyenne/Scottsbluff, and North Platte. Our board includes representatives from all areas of broadcast, media, production and education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Denver, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita and Omaha â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both affiliated and independent and we are proud to represent the over 900 members of our chapter. The Heartland Chapter has inducted 62 members into the Silver Circle and has inducted 5 members into the Gold Circle.

Where We Are Today

2015 continued the record breaking pace set last year with both memberships and entries reaching new highs. We credit our growth to not only the strength of the Emmy brand, but also the work our board has done to reach out and include all of the markets within our large geographic region. We are proudest of our growth in small and medium markets who show the greatest growth in participation. Due to its original size, once including markets in eight states, our chapter has been called upon twice to give up some of our members in order for other chapters to be formed. We could not be happier to see that both the Upper Midwest and Lonestar chapters have achieved great things as NATAS has grown over the years. We are extremely pleased that the Heartland Chapter has now surpassed the membership levels of our eight state days. Truly, a rising tide raises all boats. The Heartland Chapter is the only chapter that holds two concurrent Emmy galas: one in Denver and the other in Oklahoma City. They are each coordinated to the second to make sure that winner announcements are timed simultaneously across two time zones, for a combined 500 attendees. In the Heartland Chapter, we truly know how to party!

Building for the Future As we look to the future, we are excited to continue our role as a chapter that enjoys pushing the envelope and expanding how we can serve our members. We are always on the lookout for ways to improve how our chapter and NATAS recognizes excellence and works together.

He worked as an anchor, reporter, assignment editor and producer, in medium and large markets, before accepting his first News Directorship in Asheville, North Carolina. His following News Director positions included WMAR, Baltimore, WFLA, Tampa, WTHR, Indianapolis, and WEWS, Cleveland and Vice President and General Manager, WEWS. At the Walt Disney Company in Burbank, California, in 1993, as Executive Producer, Butte created the national advocacy television news magazine, “The Crusaders.” In 1996 in Columbus, as General Manager, he created the Ohio News Network, ONN, Ohio’s 24/7 cable news channel. The second award was presented to Wayne Dawson who has been the co-anchor of Fox 8 News in the Morning for 15 years. The news broadcast which airs weekdays from 4:30am until 10am has been number one every year with Wayne behind the news desk.

In his 34 years at Fox, Wayne has covered thousands of stories ranging from two national presidential conventions, the second history-making space shot of John Glenn, Pope John Paul’s visit to Detroit, Michigan, the first celebration of Martin Luther King Day in Atlanta.

Education

The Chapter continues its long tradition of providing scholarships to not only high school graduates but students currently enrolled in college. The funds are raised off of membership dues, which emphasizes the importance of increasing membership every year.

Events

The President’s Award continues to be part of their Emmy® awards show recognizing stations in their Chapter who have reached 60-years of service. In 2014 the Governor’s Award was presented to Dianna Kall, Governor, officer and committee chairman for over two decades.

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.

It is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the industry. NY NATAS provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and it affords opportunities for media professionals to meet on both a professional and social basis. Each year we host nearly 100 events for our members and their guests ranging from informative sessions to networking and social events. These include our popular “Meet the Filmmaker” series, professional development workshops, our weekly career seminars, regular pre-release film screenings and monthly play readings. New York Chapter members come from all areas of the television industry - production, post-production, managerial, on-air personalities and news broadcasters, technical, support services, etc. - and from companies including broadcast networks, cable programming services, local stations, independent production firms, advertising agencies, unions, guilds and more. NY NATAS conducts activities that promote and encourage understanding of, appreciation for, and public interest in the arts, crafts and sciences of television. We recognize outstanding achievement, encourage the pursuit of excellence and promote the highest standards of quality in television by conferring the industry’s classic and most coveted peer-recognition symbol of distinction, the Emmy®. The New York Chapter holds its annual black-tie awards ceremony each spring where television and media professionals including many familiar faces from news, entertainment, sports, advertising agencies, and the industry’s top production people gather to recognize the best and brightest in the business. These are the most important individuals in New York media all on hand to salute the outstanding accomplishments of their peers. Our recent 57th Annual New York Emmy® Awards gala was held on Sunday, March 30, 2014. The Governors’ Award, our Chapter’s highest honor, was presented to Chuck Scarborough, for his outstanding contributions to television on his 40 year anniversary at WNBC.

THE NATAS

San Francisco Northern California Chapter Our Past

It all started in November 1949 when the Los Angeles Board of Governors voted to bestow chapter status on ATAS’ 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 54th anniversary in fall 2015. The chapter is energized as it continues to add members and evolves to stay relevant in the face of ongoing technological advances.

Northwest Chapter Hello from the Left Coast! Once again, the Northwest Chapter of NATAS is moving into high gear for a crazy awards season. This year, we’ve received more than 950 Emmy® Award entries. That’s a new record. And that’s just the start. The chapter announces its’ Emmy® Award nominees on Friday, April 10th, during simultaneous parties in Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Boise, Bozeman and Anchorage. All six locations will again be linked via live stream for an interactive evening of music and celebration. The annual Gold Circle and Silver Circle Honors will be held Friday, June 5, 2015 as we recognize and pay tribute to our regional “superstars” in the 2015 class of Gold Circle and Silver Circle recipients. This special tribute showcases these recipients, who are also recognized at the annual Emmy® Award Gala the following evening. In 2014, we inducted 9 Silver Circle honorees and two Gold Circle honorees. Our Gold Circle honorees for 2014 were Norma Goodman and Bob Newman. The 52nd Annual Northwest Regional Emmy® Awards Gala will be Saturday, June 6 at the SeaTac Hilton Conference Center in Seattle. Our Student Awards of Excellence program continues to grow. We again anticipate a record number of entries, and we expect a record number of students, families and friends to attend the Emmy® Award Gala. Advisors tell us this is a great milestone for their students – it’s a thrill for them to attend the professional awards event and be recognized onstage for their work! Finally, we want to say THANK YOU to our colleagues from NATAS’ Boston/New England, Lower Great Lakes, San Francisco/ Northern California and Southeast chapters for judging our entries this year. We truly appreciate the efforts and expertise you bring to the NATAS mission of honoring excellence in our industry. We promise to bring that same level of care and professionalism as we judge entries from your chapters.

THE NATAS

Ohio Valley 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 Chapter. The chapter is unique in that it is the only regional NATAS

The Ohio Valley Chapter has seen a significant growth since 2010 with membership increases every year. To find out more about the Ohio Valley Chapter and how you can participate, scan the QR code or visit the chapter website: www.ohiovalleyemmy.org

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. Emblematic of the chapter’s long history of growth and innovation, its 2014 Emmy® Awards Gala featured a webstream of the ceremony, 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 various social media platforms. The Ohio Valley Chapter will continue recognizing outstanding achievements in television at its 51st Emmy® Awards Gala, to be held July 25th at the Keeneland Entertainment Center in Lexington Kentucky.

Silver and Gold Circle

Emily Mueting, majoring in Journalism at Ohio University, received the 2014 David J. Clark Memorial scholarship.

For significant achievements during their careers, the 2014 Silver/Gold Circle consists of Gold Circle, 50 years (Front Row L to R): Bill Myers (WLWT, Cincinnati) and Bob Gerding (The PPS Group, Cincinnati). Silver Circle, 25 years (Back Row L to R): Ken Mills (Mills-James, Columbus), Cameron James (Mills-James, Columbus) and Howard Ain (WKRC, Cincinnati)

Five professionals became Silver and Gold Circle honorees at the 2014 Emmy® Gala in Columbus, Ohio. Bill Myers and Bob Gerding were inducted into the 2014 Gold Circle for over 50 years of exceptional service to the industry and community.

By 2001, the organization had expanded geographically to such an extent that it was renamed the Pacific Southwest Chapter. With close to 500 members, the Pacific Southwest Chapter includes Bakersfield, Palm Springs, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara, Calif. as well as Las Vegas, Nev.

Chapter Activities

The Pacific Southwest Emmy® Awards is the largest and most attended Chapter event. In 2014, the 40th Anniversary event was held at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. Harold Greene, former San Diegan and the “original” Anchorman served as emcee. Presenters included several past Presidents, including the late Jonathan Dunn-Rankin. The Chapter ends each summer by hosting its 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. To date, the chapter has inducted over 250 members into its Silver and Gold Circle. 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 college and graduate students. The Chapter has further extended its mentoring role by hosting an annual Job Shadowing Week. The event enables students from area colleges to shadow television professionals. Participants watch newscasts and go into the field to explore first-hand their interest in careers as producers, on-air talent, photographers, and directors. In June 2015, the Pacific Southwest Emmy® Awards will be held in Palm Springs, Calif. at the Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort and Spa.

The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences serves Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, parts of Wyoming and El Centro, California. Founded in 1959, it was the fourth chapter in the history of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to be established. The annual Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards Gala, now in its 38th year, is just one aspect of the region’s success. With more than 600 active professional members, the chapter also boasts a growing student committee at Arizona State University and is in the process of cultivating committees at additional regional colleges and universities. The Rocky Mountain Chapter supports the next generation of broadcasters, producers, multimedia journalists and others within the field with both a successful Student Production Awards program, available to both high school and college students, and annual scholarship opportunities, respectively. Through a partnership with the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, 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 and should it believe that one or several of the nominees meet the stringent criteria, which is focused on how said nominee has gone beyond criteria normally found in individual craft or program categories, a selection is made. Past recipients have ranged from technical innovations to public service programs. Currently, the Chapter’s Board of Governors includes nearly two-dozen professionals across many platforms of the ever-changing business. 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 the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ National Chairman Emeritus. The Chapter is also proud of its active engagement with members and beyond through it growing social media channels on Facebook and Twitter.

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 professional-development 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 major-market 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 We are the only Regional Emmy® Chapter which holds its own Student Production Awards Ceremony for high school & college media students. We offer 18 different categories and average more than 250 entries a year. We’ve sold out venues at the Mall of America the past 5 straight years. It’s our hope that by honoring the students, it will keep them involved in our organization after school and well into their media careers. The Upper Midwest Chapter also gives more than five scholarships a year to high school seniors or college students to help with their tuition and books. Since 2002, The Upper Midwest Emmy® has presented 70 scholarships worth $155,500.
