7 Eyewitness News was awarded an Emmy in the category of Morning Newscast: Medium Market at the 61st annual New York Emmy Awards Saturday night in Manhattan.
WKBW's 6 a.m. newscast won for its coverage the morning after three tornadoes touched down in Western New York last July. The same morning newscast was also recently honored with an Excellence in Broadcasting award from the New York State Broadcasters Association for Outstanding Morning Newscast.
