ABC 4 Receives 10 Emmy(R) Nominations!

[BVRDAMR]

More Than Any Other Salt Lake Station!

Well I thought I would bring this title on because ABC 4 has been advertising it for a couple weeks now and I haven't seen it on the board...obviously nobody on here doesn't watch ABC4. After all the comments made on this board, maybe you ought to start? Somebody's watching to give all these nominations. And for your pleasure, I will list them.

(1). Spot News Story for the Smurfit Fire
(2). Feature Story for the Talking Turkey
(3). Live Field Reporting for the Midget Flies (Reed Cowan)
(4). News Excellence (The Only SL Station in this Category)
(5). Team News Coverage for St. George Flooding
(6). Extended News Coverage for the Lori Hacking Murder
(7). Best Newscast for ABC 4 News At Ten (07/16/04)
(8). Station Promo Single Spot for Your Stories
(9). Best Talent - Weathercasting - Dan Pope
(10). Promotion for Scott's Reel (Scott Terrill)

Maybe the Nielson ratings are not so accurate here in the Salt Lake Market. By the looks of things, ABC4 must be doing something right.

You should also know that KUED came in 2nd with 8 nominations, KUTV third with 4 nominations, KSL and PCTV Park City TV tied for fourth with 3 nominations (Nothing for news with KSL, only documentaries) and KSTU last with 2 nominations.

You can check out the nominees yourself by going to Rocky Mountain Emmy dot Org

Yes, ABC4 is still needed to provide you with the News!

P.S. I am in no way affiliated with ABC4, I just enjoy watching because of Ruth Todd.

Seems like the classy thing to have done would to have given us the FULL list, and then heavily promoted the idea that your company got more nominations. But hey, what do we care, right? It's not like anyone else is interested in the list.

[BVRDAMR]

You must be interested in the list Agent, or you wouldn't reply. It don't hurt my feelings if nobody replies because it just goes to show maybe they are watching and you can't stand to see that maybe your company didn't receive any of these honors.

Quality doesn't equate watchability...

Awards only mean your peers like what you're doing.

Congrats to those whose employer cared enough to pay the two hundred dollars to nominate them. It is great to be valued.

Or, it could be that I don't work in TV, and I found it rather pathetic of you to only promoted YOUR station, while not giving a real fair shake to the rest of us on this board by not giving us a full list of nominations for the state of Utah.

And yes, Dolt is very correct in the case of the Rocky Mountain Emmy's. Like most other awards, you have to pay a certain amount for your company to be recognized in any category. So I congratulate you and your company for having a dumb**** management team that would rather throw cash away on plastic, gold-spray painted paperweights that no one will care about in one year's time, instead of investing that money in your sad 4th place station that may fall to 5th behind the newly acquired "second-rate" station your bosses just purchased.

Again, congrats. ;D

And i take it since you've been online to read this and haven't responded in three days, I proved my point.

You can get off the soap box now. ;D

First of all, if you would have payed attention, I am in no way affiliated with KTVX ABC 4. I wrote it at the end of the page! I don't even live in Salt Lake City! Two, I am not on my soap box. I am just providing a post for something new to read. Thirdly, why should I reply to somebody who takes the time to check back on this particular post to see if I make any comments? I gave you an address to check out the other Emmy nominations for this and who cares if Clear Channel or whoever paid to be nominated. If you read other Bios on other TV station it would be great to be nominated and win an Emmy. I am replying so you can get the satisfaction of whatever you need or want. NOW SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE. It would be gorgeous for you to reply now. Anybody. Just Congratulate ABC4. End of story.

Next time, just post the full list instead of promoting one single station. It makes you sound more biased than you already seem.
