Stephanie Edwards to be honored by TV Academy with Governors Award
Stephanie Edwards, best known for her decades-long co-hosting stint on KTLA-TV’s broadcast of the Tournament of Roses Parade, is being honored by the TV Academy with the Los Angeles Area Governors Award.
The announcement was made Thursday as Edwards was appearing during a live broadcast of “The KTLA Morning News.”
“Stephanie is a gem,” said station President Don Corsini. “She is beloved for her sharp wit, charm and genuine professionalism We believe she epitomizes the criteria for the Governors Award, not only for her prolific body of work but, as the academy rightly calls it -- her positive impact on Los Angeles.”
Edwards is being honored for outstanding achievement in television over a period of years. The Los Angeles Governors Award is given by the Los Angeles Area Governors Award Committee and the Television Academy.
She will be presented the honor at the Los Angeles Area Emmys on July 23 at the Wolf Theatre in the recently opened Saban Media Center; the centerpiece of the Television Academy’s re-imagined North Hollywood campus.
Among Edwards’ accomplishments are hosting stints on several local shows, including “AM Los Angeles” and “Everyday.”
She began her tenure on the award-winning Tournament of Roses telecast in 1982 with co-host Bob Eubanks. She retired from television in January after hosting her final parade broadcast.
