Kcet has now led in wins at the Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, for five years in a row.

At the 73rd awards ceremony, which took place Saturday, the station claimed a total of nine statuettes. Kvea and Spectrum SportsNet followed it up with six wins apiece. Other outlets scoring multiple wins at the show, hosted by Spectrum News 1 journalist Giselle Fernández, included ABC7 (four), Kmex (three), KTLA5 (two), Kttv-tv (two) and Spectrum News 1 (two).

The Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards honor locally produced programs in the categories of Live and Breaking News Coverage, Crime and Social Issues, Culture and History, the Arts, Human Interest, Sports, and the Environment. Presenters for this year’s ceremony, which streamed live on the Emmys website, included Carrlyn Bathe (Fox Sports West), Mike Bresnahan (Spectrum SportsNet/LA), Enrique Chiabra (Telemundo/Kvea), Allie Clifton (Spectrum SportsNet/LA), Suzanna Guzmán (Kcet/PBS SoCal), Elex B.

Local public broadcaster Kcet was once again the major winner at this year’s Los Angeles Area Emmys, and then, when combined with its sister station Koce (“PBS SoCal”), the two outlets further dominated the awards. Kcet won eight Emmys this year, the most of any station, followed by Univision’s Kmex-tv, which won five. Telemundo’s Kvea won four, and then there was Koce, with three.

That means the combined Kcet/Koce won eight Emmys overall, easily leading all other stations and duopolies.

Kcet’s wins included L.A. Local Color, for “Transformation (Broken Bread),” as well as entertainment, for “Jazz City (SoCal Connected).” Other big winners included Knbc, for daytime newscast (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Kabc, for evening newscast (7 p.m. to midnight). Kmex and Kvea tied for morning news (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.).
