One of the coolest things about my career is that I get the chance to cover some of my favorite boyhood teams and work with some of the best sportscasters in the business. It's an honor and a privilege to be on the same telecasts as Vin Scully. I would also like to point out that our latest award could not have been achieved without the work of the countless people behind-the-scenes, especially producer Brad Zager and director Doug Freeman. Great job, everyone!!
Los Angeles – FSN PRIME TICKET, the destination for the most comprehensive Los Angeles Dodgers coverage, was recognized with the best Live Sports Coverage Emmy for its Dodgers game telecasts. The Live Sports Coverage Emmy was one of five 2007 Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards given to FSN PRIME TICKET and its sister network, FSN WEST, by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at the 59th Los Angeles Area Emmy® Awards.
Said Steve Simpson, senior vice president and general manager of FSN WEST and FSN PRIME TICKET: “FSN PRIME TICKET could not provide viewers with the level of quality Dodgers access and information without a close partnership with the team. This honor is as much the Dodgers as it is ours.”
“We are committed to providing the best fan experience in all of sports and that includes a quality telecast for the millions of fans who watch at home,” said Marty Greenspun, COO, Los Angeles Dodgers. “We appreciate all of the hard work that the team at FSN PRIME TICKET does on our behalf and salute them for this important achievement.”
