The Spanish-language stations KMEX and KVEA were the two biggest winners at Saturday night’s Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, topping all local channels with nine and seven Emmys, respectively.
Emphasizing the importance of serving the Latino population that now makes up California’s largest racial/ethnic group, the two stations swept the three local-newscast categories and easily outpaced English-language stations KTLA5, CBS2, KCAL9, NBC4 and ABC7, none of which won more than five awards.
Time Warner Cable’s SportsNet L.A. cable channel, the subject of a bitter dispute because of Time Warner’s failure to make deals that would allow most L.A. sports fans to watch Dodgers games, won six awards, including three for its Dodgers coverage.
