15th Annual Heartland Regional Emmy Awards
The 15th Annual Heartland Regional Emmy Awards program was held tonight at the Adams Mark Hotel in Denver. The awards recognize excellence in television news and programming in a six state region including Colorado; Nebraska; Oklahoma; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Dallas/Ft. Worth and all of North Central Texas; Topeka and Wichita, Kansas.
There were 804 entries in this year’s competition in 61 categories. Heartland Chapter President Tim Ryan (Managing Editor, KUSA, Denver) said the competition was intense, as it has been in past years. “This part of the country is fortunate to have such talented television professionals. The quality of this year’s entries was extremely high.”
The Heartland Chapter is one of 18 chapters across the country in the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the organization that also produces and awards the Daytime Emmys.
