CNBC receives most biz Emmy nominations

CNBC received eight nominations — the most of any media outlet — for the Fifth Annual Emmy Awards for Business & Financial Reporting, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced Wednesday.

In addition, Matthew Winkler, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, will receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award in Business & Financial Reporting.

The Emmy Awards for Business & Financial Reporting recognize outstanding achievement in business & financial reporting telecast or webcast from July 1, 2006 thru June 30, 2007. Nominations in seven categories were announced Wednesday.

CBS had seven nominations, followed by PBS with six nominations. They were followed by CNN with three nominations, NBC with two nominations and Bloomberg TV with one nomination.

“This year’s Business and Financial Emmy entries focused on a wide range of important economic stories,” said Peter Price, president/CEO, National Television Academy, “including the subprime mortgage meltdown, the plight of un-insured and underinsured Americans, and the looming fiscal crisis resulting from unsustainable levels of federal spending. This is our fifth year honoring outstanding economic reporting, and this year’s nominees represent the best of an important body of work.”

The winners will be named at a luncheon on Dec. 4.
