Pittsburgh TV stations racked up more nominations in the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards and took home a few more trophies -- well, some of them anyway.
Last year, Pittsburgh stations won eight awards. This year, Pittsburgh outlets received 11 trophies.
KDKA and WQED tied with five awards each and WPXI took home one. Going into Saturday night's ceremony in Philadelphia, WQED had 16 nominations, KDKA had 14 and WPXI had 8.
