CBS News and Stations took home top honors at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards last night at a ceremony in New York City, with 60 MINUTES, CBS MORNINGS and WBBM-TV, the CBS-owned station in Chicago, recognized in prestigious categories.

60 MINUTES, America’s #1 news program, won two Emmys: the first for Outstanding Recorded News Program; the second in the Outstanding Recorded News Special category, for Scott Pelley’s moving report on the Sept. 11 attack through the eyes of members of the FDNY. Watch it here.

CBS MORNINGS, co-hosted by Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson, won for Outstanding Live News Program. In 2021, the broadcast took people from Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 to Minneapolis on the day of the Derek Chauvin verdict. The show also introduced many to President Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time and allowed viewers to hear the voices of people who lost everything in Kentucky after an outbreak of tornadoes in December.
