The programs nominated last week for the 43rd annual Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards included a telecourse and a package of three public affairs programs by KOCE Channel 50 (Huntington Beach) and four independently produced religious programs that aired locally on KDOC Channel 56 (Anaheim).

The KOCE public affairs package consisted of “The Southeast Asians: An American Success Story”; “The Orange County Air Terminal Takes Off,” and an election special, “Half-Cent Sales Tax for Transportation.” “Psychology: The Study of Human Behavior” was nominated as an instructional series.

The KDOC programs, produced by a Burbank company, were “The Thea Bowman Special,” “In the Footsteps of Peter and Paul,” and “John Michael Talbot: Quiet Reflections,’ all competing in the special class programming category; and “I Can Hear the Laughter,” a segment of the “A New Beginning” show, which was nominated for outstanding informational segment.

The winners will be announced May 18 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
