Nine PBS is excited to announce that our work received thirteen 2025 Emmy nominations from the Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. We are so proud of each of the Nine PBS team members who contributed to the work that was nominated.
More than doubling the number of awards Nine PBS was nominated for last year, this illustrates Nine PBS’s growing commitment to continue to tell our community’s stories.
“These nominations are a reflection of the incredible work of our team and the trust our community places in us,” said Amy Shaw, President and CEO of Nine PBS. “At Nine PBS we believe public broadcasting is essential to our region. Every story we tell is shaped by the voices and experiences of people who are here, and being recognized at this level affirms the importance of public media in strengthening our community.”
Two other recognitions will occur at the October 25 gala. Anne-Marie Berger, senior producer, special projects, will be inducted into the Mid-America Chapter's Silver Circle for her work in public media and service to the St. Louis community. Carter Reeves, part-time multimedia associate producer and student at Webster University, received a 2025 Mid-America NATAS Foundation scholarship.
