WFOR won an Emmy for CBS 4 This Morning, and in a not so unexpected twist it seems they replaced Josh Benson with Michelle Gillen. Reporter David Sutta also won for On-Camera Talent and a feature story

WSVN won an Emmy for their Sandy Hook coverage with 10pm newscast producer James Austin, Belkys Nerey and Craig Stevens.

WTVJ editor Jim Gravina won in the Editor-Short form category. I could be wrong but I think he’s the guy with the chops behind the shiny, cool promos you see airing on NBC 6. Christopher Clark won in Editor – Sports category. Myriam Masihy, Sandra Esquivel, Pedro Cancio won for their investigative report on beach bike theft.

WPLG Emmys went to Trent Aric, and reporter Ben Kennedy, along with producers Aliana Perez, Matthew Fuhrman, Amanda Stanley
