KCPT has been recognized with three regional Emmy awards.
The Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced the awards at the 43rd Annual Mid-America Emmy Awards Saturday night.
“Receiving three Emmys is an honor for the station and speaks to the diverse content and storytelling that’s happening across all our brands – KCPT, 90.9 The Bridge and Flatland, KCPT’s digital magazine,” said KCPT President and CEO Kliff Kuehl. “It’s an honor to work with so many talented team members in such an amazing city.”
