Public television won 22 of 48 news and documentary Emmy Awards and “CBS Evening News With Dan Rather” won seven, the most for any show, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced.

The Public Broadcasting Service’s “Frontline” and CBS’ “60 Minutes” both garnered four awards. In all, CBS won 14 awards, ABC nine and NBC five at a black-tie awards dinner Wednesday night at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

For the record:

Scott Harper and Lyn Murray were winners of an Emmy this week in the music composers category for their work on “Miraculous Machines,” a “National Geographic Special.” An Associated Press story in Thursday’s Calendar inadvertently omitted Harper’s name.

Many categories had more than one winner among shows broadcast from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 1985, awards spokeswoman Jan Andrew said. “The shows weren’t competing against each other; they were up against a standard of excellence.”
