El Paso television stations once again raked in the nominations for the Lone Star Emmy. The awards honor the best television news programs in Texas and will be handed out on Oct. 16 in Dallas. I don't know about you guys, but I sure would love to see the Emmys kind of rotate their awards ceremonies in cities around the state.
Here are the list of nominees from El Paso:
- Best evening newscast in smaller market: KFOX, Kate Coley producer and Shauna Ziegler executive producer; KVIA, Johnathan Eaves producer and Ozzie Carrillo director; KVIA, Andy Guerra producer; KTSM, Nicole Skaggs producer and Oscar Garcia producer/reporter.
- Best crime news feature: "Border Lost Generation" by reporter Angela Kocherga and photographer Hugo Perez from Belo's border bureau in El Paso.
- Best sports news feature: "Historic Sports Venue In Jeaporday of Closing: Ruidoso Downs" by Paul Cicala from KVIA.
- Best Texas Heritage Program: "Biggs Fly Girls: Heroines of the Sky" by producer/photographer/editor Rudy Reyes, executive producer Shauna Ziegler and anchor Hema Mullur from KFOX.
- Best public service campaign: "Race for the Cure 09" by producer Sergio Rodriguez from KTSM.
I'm sure that gayboy is as outraged as I am that KVIA's gorgeous hunk of man meat, Raul Martinez, wasn't included. However, I'm sure he had something to do with the feature Paul Begala produced which is nominated, so perhaps he'll get some due when he wins.
Also, I didn't see this feature on the Biggs Fly Girls - does anyone know where I can download a copy? If they're anything like the Fly Girls from "In Living Color" I know it's going to be hot.

Once again, the anchors of El Paso are left out of the running. Estela Casas should at least have been nominated.
