WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥� KMOS-TV, the 91导航鈥檚 public broadcasting station, has been nominated to receive a Regional Emmy award for its original magazine series, 鈥淜MOS Presents Missouri Life.鈥� The nomination was recently announced by the Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The award recipients will be announced at ceremonies on Oct. 1 in Branson.

The episode of the series under consideration in the category of 鈥淢agazine Program鈥� featured Columbia, Mo. In that episode, viewers were introduced to the mid-Missouri community with segments on the Log Boat Brewery, The Wine Cellar and Bistro, the University of Missouri Memorial Union and the Farmer鈥檚 Market. The program also included a profile of artist Paul Jackson and a photo essay on Rockbridge Memorial State Park, the home of the Devil鈥檚 Ice Box.

鈥淜MOS Presents Missouri Life,鈥� produced in collaboration with 鈥淢issouri Life鈥� magazine, first aired in the fall of 2015, with the second season now in production. The first season took viewers on tours from the vineyards of Hermann to an alpaca ranch, a fly-fishing school in Lebanon, and a gunstock factory in Warsaw. Viewers traveled back in time with a living history event in Macon, the Old Drum trial re-enactment in Warrensburg, and the Civil War battle of Lexington. In each episode, the history of a community and profiles of interesting residents were part of the program.

鈥淲e are excited to learn of the nomination for the Regional Emmy award,鈥� said Josh Tomlinson, interim director of broadcasting services at 91导航. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a validation of KMOS-TV鈥檚 longtime commitment to producing quality local programming that provides educational opportunities and entertainment to our viewers of all ages. The collaboration with 鈥楳issouri Life' magazine has provided a unique opportunity to share resources to tell stories about Missouri.鈥�
