The Southeast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) nominated Telemundo Atlanta for 11 Emmy awards for 2013 entries. The presentation of the Southeast Regional Emmy Awards as well as a 40th Anniversary celebration will be on June 7, 2014 at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, Ga.
"To be nominated for 11 Emmy®awards is extremely rewarding,' Managing Partner Susan Sim Oh said, "as it is a testament to the hard work and collaborative effort of the entire Telemundo Atlanta team. Every day, the team is committed to disseminating helpful and vital information to the community."
For two years in a row, Telemundo Atlanta was the only Spanish-language television station in the Southeast to be nominated for the coveted Station Excellence Emmy® within the Outstanding Achievement: Television Special Achievement Excellence category.
"With nearly ten percent of the Atlanta DMA consisting of Hispanics, it is vital to have award-winning
programming to connect and engage with one of the fastest growing communities in Georgia and we are proud to be recognized for the valuable service Telemundo Atlanta provides to the community," General Manager Ivan Shammas said.
