PBS led the field today when nominations were announced for the 28th annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards. The noncommercial network received 22 citations, compared with 19 for CBS, 15 for ABC and 14 for NBC.
PBS' nominations included five for "Nature," four for "POV" and three each for "American Experience" and "Nova."
Twelve of CBS' 19 nominations went to various segments of "60 Minutes," while "NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams" accounted for nine of NBC's 14 nominations.
The only other outlets with more than two nominations were CNN and HBO, which each garnered six, and Cinemax and the History Channel, which each collected five. Fox News Channel didn't enter the competition.
"This year's nominations are as good as any we've seen in years," Bill Small, chairman of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards, said in a statement. "Though I keep reading criticism of television journalism, this year's nominees demonstrate that the fields of broadcast journalism and television documentary filmmaking are thriving."
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will announce the winners Sept. 24 in a ceremony in New York City.
