EMMY® 2016
10 Fast Facts About The Emmy® Statuette
|
Ever wonder how the concept of the celebrated Emmy® statuette came to be? We at
Off Camera thought you might like to know more about the origin of the statuette, how it was designed, how it was named, and so much more.
Read on for 10 Fast Facts about the Emmy® statuette:
 1. Television engineer Louis McManus created the Emmy® statuette design using an image of his wife as the model.
2. The Academy rejected 47 other proposals before choosing McManus' design in 1948.
3. The statuette's winged woman represents the muse of the arts, and the atom represents science.
4. Academy founder Syd Cassyd originally proposed to name the statue "Ike" -- the slang word for a television tube. But, in the 1950s, "Ike" was the nickname of war hero and soon-to-be President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Instead, the Academy named the statue after a popular camera at the time, the "Immy." A couple of years later, the Academy changed the name to "Emmy" to better correspond to the female statuette.
5. The Academy held the first Emmy® Awards ceremony on Jan. 25, 1949, at the  Hollywood Athletic Club. Only Los Angeles programming was eligible to receive Emmy® Awards (or "Immys" at the time). A total of six awards were given out.
6. Tickets to the first Emmy® Awards show were $5.00. Presently, the highest face-value ticket is $400.
7. The first Emmy® Award ever presented was for Outstanding Television Personality. Ironically, it was presented to a puppet. More specifically, the honor was presented to ventriloquist Shirley Dinsdale for the children's show, Judy Splinters.
8. National Emmy® Awards weigh nearly seven pounds and are composed of copper, nickel, gold and silver. Regional Emmy® Awards weigh about three pounds.
9. Regional Emmy® statuettes are manufactured by Chicago-based R.S. Owens & Co.
10.
NATAS chapters across the country will present more than 2,000 regional Emmy® statuettes in 2016. The San Francisco/Northern California Chapter presents a statuette to each person listed on the recipient entry form.

KCRA Hosts Pair of Political Debates
Mayor, U.S. Senate Candidates Face Off In
Separate Debates Across Sacramento Valley
|
By Randy Forsman
Chapter Secretary
April marked a busy month for Sacramento's KCRA 3 as the NBC station hosted two debates leading up to the June 7 primary election.
The first was the Sacramento Mayoral Debate, held April 5 in KCRA's "Studio B." The debate featured four candidates running for Sacramento mayor: Sacramento  Councilwoman Angelique Ashby, former California Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, former world boxing champion and bondsman Tony "The Tiger" Lopez and advocate for the homeless and disabled Russell Rawlings. This was the first time that all four candidates shared the stage to debate. KCRA anchors Gulstan Dart and Edie Lambert moderated the debate with questions that focused on the concerns of Sacramento residents.
On April 25, KCRA presented their second debate: The 2016 U.S. Senate Debate, held at the Don & Karen DeRosa University Center at the University of Pacific in Stockton. The debate was a joint presentation with the San Francisco Chronicle and saw the five leading candidates for the U.S. Senate seat share the stage for the first time: Former State Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez, Former California Republican Party Chairman Duf Sundheim and Republican businessman Ron Unz. Dart hosted the debate while the candidates fielded questions from Lambert and Editorial Page Editor John Diaz of the San Francisco Chronicle. 
While the Sacramento Mayoral debate was only seen in the Sacramento television market, the U.S. Senate Debate was seen in several markets throughout California. Along with KCRA, viewers could watch the debate on KCOP in Los Angeles, KNTV NBC Bay Area in the Bay Area, KGTV in San Diego and KSBW in Salinas. KCRA News Director Lori Waldon says, "We were very proud and excited to produce California's first 2016 televised U.S. Senate debate. The candidates engaged in a very lively, passionate and robust discussion. They presented their vision for California and drew very clear distinctions between themselves and their opponents on several key issues."
"We hope that our viewers came away with information and insight that will prepare them to vote in California's state primary," Waldon says. "The debate was a great success, and it was a great partnership with both the San Francisco Chronicle and the University of the Pacific."

KTVU Rebrands KICU Duopoly As KTVU Plus
|
On April 25, KTVU FOX 2 created KTVU Plus. KTVU Plus rebrands the FOX owned, San Jose based independent television station KICU TV36.
Gregg Kelley,
KTVU and KICU vice president and general manager, says "Think of KTVU Plus as an extension of KTVU. KTVU Plus has all of the same great programming you saw on TV36, but with more local news coverage from the award-winning KTVU News Team. KTVU Plus will soon announce new programming including news, weather, sports, and entertainment".
"And if, for whatever reason, programming is pre-empted on KTVU, viewers will always be able to find what they're looking for on KTVU Plus," Kelley adds.
KTVU Plus debuted with an expanded 7 p.m. newscast. FOX 2 News at 7 will now air for a full hour at a time convenient for commuters who get home later.
Dana McDaniel, vice president of news at
KTVU and KTVU Plus, says "Bay Area residents are working longer and stuck in traffic longer. We're conforming our schedule to fit theirs. While other stations are cutting back, we're adding more local news coverage."
KTVU Plus is the logical extension of KTVU. McDaniel continues: "We've run out of time in the day, so we're evolving our sister station into a go-to destination for Bay Area residents who want more of what KTVU has to offer."
Channel 36 is notable as the longest continuously operating commercial UHF television station in the Bay Area. It first signed on the air on Oct. 9, 1967, as KGSC-TV. Station IDs featured the San Francisco stripper Carol Doda whispering: "You're watching KGSC, the perfect 36, San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland."
In the seventies KGSC programming included all-night "Movies 'til Dawn" presentations hosted by "Old Sourdough" played by Andy Moore and "Chief Wachikanoka" played by Gary Ferry.
In 1981, Ralph Wilson purchased KGSC and soon changed its call letters to KICU. Hundreds of
Station IDs were created with viewers or professional athletes who said, "I see you 36!"
For the first time the station featured news programming. "The 7:30 News" eventually became "The News at 10" and an experimental noon news show was added.
In the early '90s, KICU was re-branded "Action 36." Dialing for Dollars with Brian Adams began a five-year run in 1994.
Coincidentally, a 10 p.m. newscast and Dialing for Dollars had been programming staples at KTVU.
KICU was sold to Cox Broadcasting (now Cox Media Group), a
subsidiary of Cox Enterprises on Nov. 28, 1999, creating
the first television duopoly in the Bay Area with Fox affiliate KTVU. When the deal was finalized in early 2000,
KICU mo
v
ed its operations from its original San Jose studios to KTVU's facility in Oakland's Jack London Square.
On June 24, 2014, Fox Television Stations announced that it was acquiring KTVU and KICU in a trade deal in which the company's Fox owned-and-operated stations in Boston, Massachusetts (WFXT) and Memphis, Tennessee (WHBQ-TV) would be swapped to the Cox Media Group.
The trade was completed on Oct. 8, 2014.

Discomfort Food: Is Marriage Making You Fat?
They found that hostile marital arguments caused a surge in ghrelin, one of your hunger hormones. Known as the "appetite increaser", ghrelin is primarily released in the stomach and signals your brain when it's time to eat.
The couples agreed to participate for two days (each 9 1/2 hours long). They ate a meal together and tried to resolve one or more conflicts in their marriage. Hormones were tested at four different times of the day - once before a meal and three times after it (at two, four and seven hours after).
Food to Ease Discomfort
So what does this study mean to you? To be clear, arguments or underlying hostility do not cause hunger or poor food choices, but there is a pretty significant link between the two. As a result, distressed partners (both husband and wife) sought food that was typically higher in fat, sugar and/or salt - typically poorer quality food, but what many might consider "comfort food". 
Published in Clinical Psychological Science, the results of this study are helpful in understanding how marital difficulties can lead to unhealthy weight and the resultant health problems. So, how's YOUR marriage? Is your weight on the rise?
Know the Triggers
Could you be reaching out to food to relieve the discomfort and social stressors you feel from your marriage, such as hostility, tension, rejection, and/or social isolation? Are you having difficulty controlling your appetite with specific types of food?
If so,
a
"diet" that focuses on restriction, restraint and relentless self-control is not the answer
. It's a temporary fix to quickly lose weight and inevitably regain because it's not addressing what's driving you to eat the way you do.
Fit Tip:
This study exemplifies that there is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" weight los
s program. To lose weight, you need a personalized intervention and treatment plan that underscores a lifetime of good nutrition, exercise and stress management. Find a clinician who is empathetic to your physiological triggers. It is not enough to delve into your psyche and psychosocial status and amp up your need to lose weight and live disease-free. It's critical to understand the relationship between you and your spouse - what could be the fundamental key to your successful weight loss

forget his camera one day while on assignment? Not at all. As he told Chapter Governor, Da Lin, of KPIX 5, KTSF is trying something different in an effort to cut costs. KTSF is using iPhone cameras to shoot a select number of stories and interviews. So far, it seems to be working. Could those heavy, expensive television cameras be disappearing someday?

Talent and Content in the Digital Age
With today's wave of digitally delivered TV and video series comes valuable insight and data about who is watching who, what and how (think how many ½ hour comedy episodes viewers binge on per sitting) and newfound creative freedoms (flexible episode lengths, for example), all of which adds up to a treasure trove for creators and programmers to inform their content decisions. This high-level panel examines how creators, producers, programmers and talent reps are incorporating data, insight and community into their strategies for creating the most compelling TV and video of the future.

Goodbye, Hawaii TV... Hello, New Careers
|
It was quite a sendoff for Keoki Kerr (upper left), whose 25-year career on Hawaii television ended this year upon becoming communications specialist for the Hawaii State Teachers Association. Kerr worked for four years at Hawaii News Now. Prior to that, Kerr spent 21 years at KITV as an investigative reporter.
The camera was also rolling at a going-away party, above, for
Lara Yamada, morning news anchor and reporter at KITV in Honolulu. Yamada has left Hawaii television and is now the executive director of the Hawaii Arthritis Foundation. She was also recently accepted into the EMBA program at the University of Hawaii.

Joey), graduated from the University of Hawaii.

American Idol contestant. He appeared on the show in 2003 and was the program's first finalist from Hawaii.
Segundo joined KITV in January.
