SACRAMENTO, Calif. — ABC10 is proud to announce it's been nominated for two national News and Documentary Emmy Awards.
The nominations are in the categories of investigative reporting and breaking news coverage, and both stories are related to the station's ongoing coverage of PG&E and wildfires. They are:
- Outstanding Regional News Story: Spot or Breaking News: The Caldor Fire: The Race to Save Tahoe (Gonzalo Magana, Executive Producer; John Bartell, Brandon Rittiman, Reporters; Tyler Horst, Rory Ward, Photojournalists)

Both pieces were previously awarded regional Emmys by the San Francisco chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
