Going into Saturday's Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmys, Pittsburgh stations had 31 nominations, but only nine local winners came out of the competition.

WTAE led with four awards, KDKA and WQED had two awards each and WPXI took home one. In addition, WTAE chief meteorologist Joe DeNardo received a previously announced governor's award for career achievement.

Most of the awards went to Philadelphia stations, as usual, although WHTM, the ABC affiliate in Harrisburg, won six regional Emmys. Last year, Pittsburgh stations also won nine awards.

Mid-Atlantic Emmy awards comprise entries from Pennsylvania; New Jersey; Delaware; Steubenville, Ohio; and Wheeling, W.Va. The local winners were:
