In a memorable evening filled with celebration and recognition, KCRA 3 walked away with three Golden Mike Awards at the first-ever statewide competition hosted by the Radio and Television News Association of Southern California. This prestigious honor highlights the station’s commitment to journalistic excellence, and it just might have some competitors feeling a bit overshadowed!
The station’s award-winning entry included the best live coverage of a news story, specifically for its gripping report on the Esparto fireworks explosion. Kurtis Ming was there to proudly accept the award, showcasing the power of impactful storytelling. But that’s not all—the unstoppable duo of Reporter Jason Marks and Photojournalist Victor Nieto also garnered accolades for their engaging feature that spotlighted the incredible journey of California’s oldest police rookie.
To top off the night, KCRA 3 received yet another Golden Mike for best sports reporting, featuring the heartwarming tale of a Northern California pro wrestler’s unexpected resurrection thanks to a fellow grappler. With these wins, KCRA 3 proves that hard work and dedication truly do pay off. Who knows what riveting story they’ll tackle next?
