The 6th Annual Lone Star Emmy Award winners were announced on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at the Verizon Wireless Theatre in Houston, TX . The awards recognize outstanding achievement by individuals and programs broadcast during the 2007-2008 calendar year.
NBC 5 was honored with the highest Lone Star Emmy Award for “Station Excellence" and a series of awards in news, sports, promotions, photography, editing, writing, audio and more. “This is an especially gratifying award because it doesn’t spotlight an individual; it recognizes the hard work of an entire team.
