KVUE rakes in six Regional Murrow Awards
Austin stations fared well in the Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, announced Friday afternoon.
Competing in Region 6 (which includes Texas and Oklahoma), KVUE raked in six prestigious Murrows, including one for overall excellence. KVUE, an ABC affiliate owned by Belo Corp., also won for its 10 p.m. newscast, investigative reporting, sports reporting, spot news coverage and videography.
CBS affiliate KEYE received a Murrow for its Web site (KEYETV.com), Time Warner’s 24-hour local news channel News 8 won for (what else?) continuous coverage and NBC station KXAN picked up an award for news writing.
In the radio category, KUT won three Murrows: overall excellence, feature reporting and news documentary.
The Murrow awards are bestowed each year by the Radio-Television News Directors Association.

Believe me, I do know about KVUE winning those awards. They "reported" it on their 10 pm newscasts Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. Overkill on complimenting themselves! Of course, maybe I need to get a life if I watched the 10:00 news that many times!

The Miss USA beauty pageant was LAST Saturday, not this coming Saturday. You didn't miss much, it was pretty much plastic surgery on parade. Miss Texas won though. Just not with her original chin, cheeks, lips, breasts, waist or thighs. But win she did.
HOLLOWAY retorts:
Yes, we had it listed in TV highlights for last week. But you're correct in your assessment!

They do a good job.
Christina Haas is hot.
Tyler is very professional.
Rick Barnes is very good at what he does.
They report the news and don't become the news like that lady, from another station, that was caught driving drunk.
Meagan the weather lady is hot also, but she's with another station.
