- PBS SoCal topped the 78th Los Angeles Emmy Awards with 8 trophies at the Saturday ceremony held at the Skirball Cultural Center, matching its haul from the 2025 awards.
- KMEX-TV finished second with 7 wins, equaling its total from the previous year's ceremony.
- KVEA collected 6 trophies, followed by ABC7 and NBC4, which each took home 4.
- Spectrum News 1 also appeared among the leading stations in the awards count, per the partial tally released.
Why it matters: PBS SoCal repeating as the top station with 8 wins — the same total it posted in 2025 — signals continued dominance for public-media production in the LA market, while KMEX-TV's matching 7-win haul shows Univision-affiliated programming holding steady. The 4-win tie between ABC7 and NBC4 points to tight parity among the major commercial local-news competitors.
