Vlad 276 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well it seems like 2 and 4 have more recognition this year. WNBC has always had a quality newscast that surpasses all of the stations here so I'm not too suprised. But seeing nominations for WCBS is quite suprising, it really shows how much they've improved over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
