Local public broadcaster Kcet was once again the major winner at this year’s Los Angeles Area Emmys, and then, when combined with its sister station Koce (“PBS SoCal”), the two outlets further dominated the awards. Kcet won eight Emmys this year, the most of any station, followed by Univision’s Kmex-tv, which won five. Telemundo’s Kvea won four, and then there was Koce, with three.
That means the combined Kcet/Koce won eight Emmys overall, easily leading all other stations and duopolies.
Kcet’s wins included L.A. Local Color, for “Transformation (Broken Bread),” as well as entertainment, for “Jazz City (SoCal Connected).” Other big winners included Knbc, for daytime newscast (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Kabc, for evening newscast (7 p.m. to midnight). Kmex and Kvea tied for morning news (4 a.m. to 11 a.m.).

DirecTV, U-verse and AT&T TV customers will finally get to watch Los Angeles Dodgers games again, after six years of blackout. AT&T and Spectrum Networks have announced a carriage deal that will bring the Dodgers’ regional sports network, Spectrum SportsNet La, to those subscribers for the first time.
DirecTV/AT&T and Spectrum had failed to come to an agreement for six years, which left the Dodgers with only partial coverage in the Los Angeles market. Under the new deal, DirecTV customers will receive SportsNet La starting today on channel 690, while AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now customers will start to see the channel on April 8.
The news comes, however, as the baseball season has been delayed due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
“This agreement underscores our commitment to provide all Dodgers fans the opportunity to enjoy our award-winning programming and live game coverage,” said Dan Finnerty,...

The Los Angeles live concert market just got a little bit more heated. With Aeg and Msg competing for acts to perform at the Staples Center and the Forum (respectively), the 23,500-seat Banc of California Stadium opens for its premiere music-related event, Kiis and iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango, on Saturday night (June 2), headlined by Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes. The newcomer was built in 20 months for $350 million on the site of the venerable L.A. Memorial Sports Arena — site of legendary shows by U2 and Bruce Springsteen as well as basketball’s L.A. Clippers for a time — adjacent to the Coliseum and the USC campus.

[[tmz:video id="0_uqmdifux"]] Relax ... forcing Mlb rookies to wear dresses is no big deal -- despite criticism that it sends a bad message to kids -- so says ex-mlb star Nomar Garciaparra. As we previously reported, the head of a powerful Lgbt group is upset that several Mlb teams forced their rookies to dress like women as part of a hazing ritual ... claiming it sends the message that the idea of men who wear dresses is something to be mocked.

Oh, Drake. Just another celeb who has the hots for an athlete. Actually, in seemingly taking it to the next level with Serena Williams, Drake has made a play for one of the all-time greatest athletes—so there he goes, being the best at something, yet again. He also happens to be entering relatively uncharted territory, because nearly all the smokin' hot celebrity-athlete couples out there consist of a female celeb and a male sportsman, one exception being sport-on-sport (though that's not really the same either), such as now-retired soccer stud Mia Hamm and her hubby, now-retired Mlb star Nomar Garciaparra. Another exception: Serena Williams dating Common years ago. That sounds as though it...

Chicago – With the 2014 Major League All-Star game coming up next week on July 15th, that break is a time to reflect on the current season and your favorite team. At the “Hot Stove Cool Music” event in Chicago on June 20th, HollywoodChicago.com got in the All-Star spirit by talking with the President of Baseball Operations for the Chicago Cubs, Theo Epstein, plus baseball writer and former Espn commentator, Peter Gammons.
Hot Stove Cool Music was co-founded by Peter Gammons in 2000, and began in Boston. Theo Epstein and his family charity organization, “Foundation to Be Named Later” partnered with the event shortly thereafter, and in total it has raised more than $5.5 million dollars, creating positive opportunities for disadvantaged children and families. Cub Charities was also a co-sponsor of the night, which featured Gammons, Epstein and other Chicago talents rocking on the Cabaret Metro stage in Wrigleyville, about one block from the Chicago Cubs home base,...

Where do two athletes go on a date? If they’re soccer star Mia Hamm and her husband, former baseball player Nomar Garciaparra, the answer is easy: to the gym.
Hamm says that the couple, who have been married for nearly seven years, often spend their quality time pumping iron. “We leave the kids with a sitter and we work out,” says Hamm. “It’s something we can do together. That’s the time for the two of us.”

Soccer star Mia Hamm and her husband, former Dodger Nomar Garciaparra, will host their third annual ‘Celebrity Soccer Challenge’ on January 16 at the Home Depot Center in Carson California to raise money and awareness about bone marrow disease.
Last years event raised nearly $200,000 for Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the Mia Hamm Foundation while encouraging the thousands of fans in attendance to register for the National Marrow Donor Program Registry.
It is a cause close to Hamm’s heart, because she lost her brother Garrett to aplastic anemia, a bone marrow disease, in 1997.

Celebrities are known for pushing the envelope when it comes to naming their babies — to say the least!
