The Southeastern Regional Emmy Awards were presented recently and I’m pleased to share that several of my friends won awards. Two of my colleagues at the University of Alabama, Wendy Reed and Roger Reid, won the Emmy for “Writer–Program (Non-News)” with the “Alabama in Space” episode of the Discovering Alabama series which is broadcast on Alabama Public Television.
Several of my friends at Alabama Public Television also won awards. The network earned the coveted award in the “Live and Post-production Audio” category for We Have Signal, a music program recorded live at Birmingham’s BottleTree Café; in the “Non-News Program Editor” category for Alabama the Beautiful: State Parks, a feature on six Alabama State Parks; and in the “Historic/Cultural News and Program Specialty” category for Honor Flight, a half-hour program that follows the journey of Alabama WWII veterans to Washington to see the National World War II Memorial.
Individuals responsible for the award-winning entries include Matt Whitson of APT and Brad Lightfoot of BottleTree for the We Have Signal award; APT’s Stephen Dubberley for the Alabama the Beautiful editing award; and Rhonda Colvin, APT producer/reporter, for Honor Flight.
Congratulations to all!
