WESH 2 has been nominated for 17 Emmy Awards in the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences\u2019 Suncoast region.

\u201cOur WESH 2 team shows up every day determined to deliver the best coverage for our viewers,\u201d said WESH 2 and CW18 President and General Manager John Soapes. \u201cThese nominations are an acknowledgment of something I get to witness on a consistent basis: the journalists and broadcasters working here are the best in Central Florida.\u201d <\/p>\n
In addition to the Overall Excellence and News Excellence categories, WESH 2 received nominations for Best Morning Newscast, Best Daytime Newscast, and Best Evening Newscast.
