CUNY TV, the public educational television station of The City University of New York, has received 23 nominations for the 2024 New York Emmy Awards across 10 shows. This marks a record for the most nominations CUNY TV has ever received in a single year.
The nominated programs include the new documentary series “CUNY Laureates,” which earned five nominations; “Nueva York” with four nominations; and “Asian American Life” with three. Other recognized shows include “LATiNAS” and “Shades of US,” each with two nominations, and “Café con Felo,” hosted by CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, which earned its first nomination. Classic CUNY TV shows such as “Urban U,” “Black America,” and “Let It Rip” were also acknowledged. Additionally, CENTRO, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, received three nominations for its docuseries “Puerto Rican Voices.”
This is the first time that two shows from CUNY TV’s revamped programming lineup launched last year have been nominated. "CUNY Laureates," which highlights notable CUNY graduates, was nominated for a segment featuring Hunter College graduate Ada Louise Huxtable. "Café con Felo" earned a nomination for an interview with theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.
“Congratulations to CUNY TV on an incredible showing with nominations for the New York Emmy Awards,” said Chancellor Matos Rodríguez. He expressed his surprise at receiving an Emmy nomination for his engaging conversation with Michio Kaku.
“We are incredibly proud of our very own CUNY TV for receiving a record-breaking 23 nominations for the coveted New York Emmy Awards this year," said Maite Junco, Senior Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing at CUNY.
Chiqui Cartagena, Interim Executive Director of CUNY TV, stated: "We are honored and appreciative to have been recognized for television excellence by our peers in the industry."
