For the first time in Lyons Township High School LTTV history, a segment of Sports in the Live Event category was recently nominated for a National Student Production Award by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. LT is one of just five high schools from across the nation to be nominated and named a finalist in the category for their coverage of the Blackout Game 2018.

Nominees were selected from high school student entries across the country in 23 programming and craft categories. The awards presentation will be live-streamed from the Los Angeles campus of Emerson College on October 18 at noon, PDT and will be hosted by Tom Bergeron, host of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
This year’s submissions were successfully culled from a record breaking total of more than 2,000 entries from the regional chapters of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Entries were judged by selected industry professionals and media academics.
