The Overall News Excellence award was a standout win. CBS6 competed against stations from across the state, including New York City’s WABC-TV and WCBS-TV. The award recognizes the station’s news composite, a showcase of its journalism and storytelling.

“Being at the Emmys and sharing that excitement with our team was incredibly meaningful,” said Stone Grissom, CBS6’s news director. “I’m proudest of the journalism behind these awards. Our newsroom digs deeper, asks questions that matter and tells stories in a distinctive way. To be recognized alongside some of the best storytellers in the country—and to bring home five Emmys—shows that our work stands among the best in the business.”

CBS6 won more New York Emmys than any other station in the Capital Region and more than doubled the total of its direct local competitors. The honors recognize CBS6’s reporting, newscast and continuing coverage.
