KABC, KTLA and KNBC each won seven Emmys on Saturday evening at the 64th Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, which were presented in the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre at the Academy of Televison Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood.

NBC also won an Emmy for Live coverage of an Unscheduled News event for coverage of the Seal Beach Massacre and for News Speciao for The Death of Osama Bin Laden.
The Los Angeles Area Governors Award was presented to Susan Stratton, who was cited for being “a trailblazer for women in the television industry.”
In announcing the honor for Stratton, the Academy said, “For 27 years after KCAL first signed a deal to broadcast the Los Angeles Lakers, Susan Stratton was the woman in charge of bringing the telecast into the homes of Southern California. She broke down barriers in the industry by being the first woman television producer and director for a professional sports franchise in the United States.”
“Long before I began working in the television business, I knew Susan's name having heard the legendary Chick Hearn frequently praise her during his Lakers broadcasts," said Television Academy Chairman Bruce Rosenblum.
The award for outstanding hard news reporting went to KABC reporter David Ono, with ABC7 also takng the award for coverage of crime/social issues, which went to Lisa M. Gonzales, executive producer, Pamela Mahabeer, producer, Jose Manuel Mayorquin, producer and Marc Brown, host.
