"We could not have won these awards without the support of the Television Academy and the talent and passion of our staff — especially editor Gail Polevoi, contributing editor Kathleen O'Steen, art director Richard Bleiwess and photography editor Rose Cefalu, along with publications administrator Rose Madonna. They are an amazing team."
