"I remember winning my first Emmy, back in 1998, for individual
excellence in art direction and design for an open I designed at ABC 7. I was
thrilled to win as it was my first Emmy. It's a great honor to be recognized by
your peers." -- Abel Sanchez, CBS 2 Chicago, Emmy Winner
Jim Kirwan, WYCC, Emmy Winner
"Receiving an Emmy nomination or award is a great way to unify your staff and motivate them to continue producing great work for the station. Besides pay raises, I can think of no better way to raise employee morale and spirit." -- Arthur Wood, Station Manager, WYCC
"An Emmy
is a universally-known symbol of excellence. Being able to add that to my list
of accomplishments only adds to my credibility as a New Media journalist and
helped open doors for me in the industry." -- Marcus Riley, NBC 5 Chicago, Emmy
winner
“It’s
the Super Bowl of journalism. It was the point when I knew I made it.”
Kristoffer Engebretson, WGBA/Green Bay Investigative Reporter, Emmy Winner
“After
garnering 11 Emmy Nominations in the past 10 years, it was an amazing experience
to win an Emmy for Individual Excellence On Camera last year. I felt enormously
encouraged by the vote of confidence from my peers.” -- Sunmee Choi, TLN Host/Producer, Emmy Winner
"There is no more recognizable symbol of television excellence than the Emmy. I
have had the honor of getting 6 of them...and every one is a reminder that my
own peers, the people who do what I do, think I'm one of the best. There's
nothing that can compare with standing in front of a room filled with your
competitors...and picking up the golden hardware. It is one of life's sweetest
moments." -- Lilia Chacon, WFLD Reporter, Emmy Winner

"I was always dismissive of Emmys until I won my
first, an award for investigative reporting. I'd never been more proud and found
myself having to reevaluate the whole Emmy experience."
Steve Sanders, WGN Anchor, Emmy Winner
"I was in the news business 15 years before I won
my first Emmy. Another 13 years went by before I earned another. But when it
happened in Chicago, I felt like I'd finally hit the big time!"
Pam Grimes, WGN Producer, Emmy Winner
