TV Tacoma was recently presented a Governors’ Award during the 47th Annual Emmy Awards for partnered coverage of the memorial services honoring the four Lakewood law enforcement officers and the Pierce County deputy recently killed in the line of duty. “On rare occasions the Board of Governors determines that an individual or group has done something so remarkable it deserves a unique and special honor. We call it the Governors’ Award,” said National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Co-President Jamie Jensen. In an unprecedented act of collaboration, the seven stations pooled equipment, staffing and financial resources to provide comprehensive live coverage of the memorial service throughout the Puget Sound region. The award marks TV Tacoma’s second Emmy.
