Awards and Nominations Galore for WBNS

For a fourth straight year, 10TV's 11 p.m. newscast was awarded the best in the state by The Associated Press.
10TV photojournalist Jeff Ritter also picked up an award for best photographer.
The awards were announced at the AP's annual awards in Columbus on Sunday.
In April, the station was honored three times with the distinguished Edward R. Murrow Award for "Best Newscast," "Best Spot News" and "Best Web Site." In addition, 10TV's work in a variety of categories was recognized with 24 Emmy nominations in the Midwestern Regional Emmy Award Nominations, announced Monday afternoon.
"These awards are a testament to the hard work our staff puts forth day in and day out to provide our viewers with the highest quality news and information," said Tom Griesdorn, 10TV's president and general manager. "My hat is off to every team member in every department that made these honors possible. I am especially proud that 10TV was again recognized for having the best television newscast. In a sea of competition, we were voted the best. That speaks volumes about our value and what we bring to central Ohioans every day."
The Ohio Associated Press Broadcasters is comprised of all Ohio AP radio and television stations. WBNS-10TV competes in the large television market division. The awards presented this year covered the 2007 year.
