Three of the awards given to WQED (nominated for nine Emmys) came associated with its new program "On Q." The station won for program feature/informational (reporter Michael Bartley, videographer-editor Paul Ruggieri), program feature/entertainment (producer Gina Catanzarite) and individual achievement in camera/programming (Pierina Morelli).
"Black Horizons" (producer Minette Seate) won for talk program/one-time only special for a feature on the county jail.
