Rocky Mountain Emmys celebrates best in broadcast media

By Abbie Fink on October 27th, 2009 In Media

Congratulations to all of the on-camera and behind-the-scenes television media in the Valley and beyond who won big at this past weekend’s Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards. From all accounts, the night was a celebration of the best and brightest broadcast media, and one heck of a party!

Back by popular demand was the upscale Las Vegas theme from last year’s event, which included black jack, roulette and craps tables, a tequila-tasting and fabulous raffle prizes and gift bags for all attendees with products from local companies and events. 

The event also embraced social media to help broadcast the event with a live twitter stream, using the hastag #RockyEmmy, throughout the night to give attendees as well as those who couldn’t be there a behind-the-scenes look into the event.

Among the winners were all major Phoenix and Tucson television stations as well as FSN Arizona and Phoenix Suns Broadcasting. CBS 5 took home the Governor’s Award for their “Pay It Forward” series, which is a grass-roots community service program. It’s the highest award presented by the National Academy.

Individual members of the media also garnered several honors including:

• Bob Adlhoch, Phoenix Suns Broadcasting – Live Director
• Peter Busch, CBS 5, and Lori Jane Gliha, ABC 15 – On-Camera Talent Reporters
• Megan Case, FSN Arizona, and Joe Pequeno, 12 News – Advanced Media Hosts
• Troy Hayden, FOX 10 – On-Camera Talent/Anchor
• Paul Horton, CBS 5 – On-Camera Weather
• Kaley O’Kelley, formerly of ABC 15 now with KTVK TV 3 – Best Breaking News
