Telemundo’s KVEA Sweeps All Three Newscast Categories at This Year’s L.A. Area Emmys

KVEA is clearly doing something right. The Telemundo-owned Los Angeles station, part of a duopoly with sister NBC outlet KNBC, swept this years key newscast categories at the 75th Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards. The Spanish language station dominated the evening, winning the Emmys for evening (7 p.m. to 12 a.m.), daytime (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and morning (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.) newscasts.

KVEA had won the daytime newscast Emmy last year as well (while KTLA won evening, and KNBC won morning, in 2022).

Overall, KVEA earned eight L.A. Area Emmy awards this year, tied with local public broadcasterKCET. (That was also up from KCETs haul of six last year.) Given the tie with KVEA, that still preserves KCETs streak of this being the seventh year in a row that KCET won the most.

The KCBS/KCAL duopoly was next in line, with four wins, while ABC-owned KABC and cabler Spectrum SportsNet LA were next with three.

KCET had received the most L.A. area Emmy nominations this year, with 24. That was followed by KVEA, with 20, and then cable news outlet Spectrum News 1 with 14.

The 2023 Los Angeles Area Emmy Governors Award was presented to Los Angeles Lakers broadcast analyst Stu Lantz, by former Lakers basketball player Robert Horry. The award is presented annually to an individual, company or organization that has made a substantial contribution to television broadcasting in the greater Los Angeles area.

Eligibility for this years L.A. Area Emmy Awards was between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2022. The Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards honor locally produced programs in the categories of crime and social issues, culture and history, the arts, human interest, sports, the environment, and live and breaking news coverage.
