WEST CHESTER, Ohio — FiveCore Media won its first-ever regional Emmy® award from the Central Great Lakes Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

In a virtual ceremony, the academy announced FiveCore as the winner for the special live event coverage Emmy®. Kyle Hufford, the executive producer of FiveCore, accepted the award.

“A Festival of Carols” is Goshen College’s annual Christmas concert featuring the college’s choirs, ensembles and the local Rejoice Children’s Choir. The television special aired on some PBS stations in the region. 

“This Emmy® is a testament to the hard work of our Goshen College students and FiveCore staff,” Hufford said. “We have been knocking on the door with nominations in the past, but this year the students were finally recognized by broadcast industry professionals for their excellence. Festival of Carols is a huge production and it takes over a dozen students and staff to pull it off. I am honored to share this award with our students and hope this is the first of many more to come.”

The Lower Great Lakes Chapter includes the Cleveland, Indianapolis, Toledo, Fort Wayne, Columbus, Bloomington and Youngstown markets. The Regional Emmy® awards are one of the top awards in television broadcasting and are judged by members of other academy chapters from across the country. “A Festival of Carols” will air again this coming Christmas season on PBS stations.
