Several Austin TV stations were honored at last night's 5th annual Lone Star EMMY Awards. One of the evening's big winners was local PBS affiliate KLRU, which garnered 6 awards out of its initial 21 nominations, including three for Downtown (a co-production of KLRU, the Downtown Austin Alliance and Action Figure) and one for the Central Texas community-driven "collaborative collage," Docubloggers.
CBS 42's investigative journalist Nanci Wilson scored two wins, for her special feature stories, "Stolen From The Grave" and "Covering Texas Lawmakers."
Check out the list of local winners after the jump. You can see the full list at the Lone Star EMMY site.
