Cox3's Mothers Earns Prestigious Emmy Award

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, July 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Capturing the hearts of many, Cox3 has earned a prestigious Emmy Award for Mothers, a revealing documentary on the history of Mother’s Day. Produced and directed by James Rogers of Corona, the special also profiled local mothers and their remarkable stories.

Explains Rogers, “The show was moving, because of the stories of such fascinating women. One segment featured the “Get on The Bus” program, started by Sister Suzanne Jabro, which transports children of incarcerated women, allowing them to visit their mothers on Mother’s Day. The show also looked at the touching and inspirational story of the Cousineau family, which through their own tragedy, formed an organization that inspires people to become donors.”

The coveted Emmy was bestowed at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Pacific Southwest Chapter’s 36th Annual Awards held at San Diego’s Hard Rock Hotel on June 26.

Demonstrating Cox3’s commitment to excellence in local broadcasting, the communications and entertainment pioneer was also a nominee in the Sports Event/Game – Live/Unedited category for long-standing local favorite, Game of The Week produced by Marcus Williams, and OC Lifestyle produced by Eric Winter for excellence in a Magazine Program.

Known for its “Local Like No Other” programming, the Orange County based Cox3 competed against rival networks in San Diego, Bakersfield, Palm Springs, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Las Vegas.

The annual awards presentation is intended as an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence to those working in television, while focusing public attention on outstanding cultural, educational, technological, entertainment, news and informational achievements in television.
