2021 ROCKY MOUNTAIN EMMY ® AWARDS

Letter from the President

Greetings Friends and Colleagues and welcome to

the 44th Annual Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards

Whew, what a whirlwind of

unexpected events we have

been navigating since we last

met in person at the 42nd Rocky Mountain

Emmy® Awards! Hopefully, by the time

we celebrate the 45th Rocky Mountain

Emmy Awards, we will be back to something

reminiscent of “normal.” Let tonight be

another step forward!

We are happy to have Theresa Maher as our

Event Chair again this year and Mark Reda

has returned as our Awards Chair, along with

Donna Rossi as Vice Chair. All the work for

this event is accomplished throughout the

year by committees, the Board of Governors

and our indispensable, Executive Director,

Lara Gates. None of what you will see and

experience tonight would be possible

without the hard work and dedication of

the event team and board, which have been

chosen by our chapter members.

As you may be aware, one of our goals is to

ensure we have a diverse group of board

members, inclusive of other markets outside

of the Greater Phoenix area, as well as from all facets of our industry and craft. We will be

announcing board elections soon. We would be honored to have any of our members fill these

upcoming openings. If you are interested, please reach out.

Another priority is to continue focusing on supporting and mentoring our future leaders

through educational programs, scholarships and the Student Production Awards. When you

have a chance, please check out the resources, information and chapter history available at

rockymountainemmy.org

We want to remember and keep in our hearts, all of our friends, colleagues and loved ones we

have lost since we last gathered.

On behalf of the entire Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter and your Board of Governors, we

would like to congratulate all of our nominees, recipients and honorees.

Thank you for joining us to celebrate together, or apart. Good luck, stay safe and be well,

Doug Mummert

President , Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences

Letter from Awards Chair

Idon’t really want to talk much about 2021, but

it’s part of the job.

First, I need to thank the members of the

Awards Committee who did so much extra work

this year. They picked up a lot of slack for me.

They deserve an incredible amount of personal

and professional gratitude. Awards Vice Chair,

Donna Rossi, Executive Director Lara Gates,

Award Committee members Bob Adlhoch, Chuck

Emmert, Mike Headrick, Micah Johnson, Carol

Lynde, Doug Mummert and Özlem Özgur, thank

you from the bottom of my heart.

Their job was made even tougher this year with

the many changes we implemented. We divided

most content categories into four sub-categories

-- News No (Production) Time Limit; News Single

Shift; Content Long Form and Content Short

From. We offered 130 categories and subcategories.

In some instances, we merged sub-categories after the deadline when

there were insufficient entries for a fair competition. We did not, however, merge

news and non-news. We also offered a Technical Achievement category for the first

time, to acknowledge the innovation used to overcome the difficulties in delivering

content to the viewer in these challenging times.

Every one of the 898 entries was vetted for potential eligibility and rules violations by

the Awards Committee. Entries were judged by at least seven qualified peers from

nine other chapters. We were one of a small number of chapters that participated

in a test of bilingual judging in several news categories. In these cases, at least 10

qualified peer judges reviewed all entries. Judges came equally from both English

and Spanish language Newsrooms from across the country. The more things

changed in 2021…the more they were different. And we believe better.

Let me thank all those chapter members who judged other chapter’s entries. You

provide an invaluable service to our chapter and to the entire NATAS community.

Nearly 40% of our entrants judged in 2021. It is a great way to discover new and

creative ways of delivering content. There may be nothing new under the sun, but

there are always different ways of presenting it. I challenge those members who

haven’t judged to try it. You’ll like it.

The Awards Committee is available to all broadcasters in this region. We will respond

to all inquiries and questions and will guide everyone who needs assistance through

the process.

Enjoy the Gala. Together we will honor the nominees and celebrate the recipients.

Congratulations.

Tonight’s Host

NEMR

NEMR is a Lebanese/American

Stand-Up Comedian credited

with establishing and pioneering

the stand-up comedy scene

throughout the Middle East where he

performs in English. Nemr grew up in San

Diego and then moved back with his family to

Lebanon. He went on to break down barriers

and unite people in a region where bombing

on stage can have a completely different

meaning.

In May of 2014 he was featured on the cover

of Rolling Stone magazine (Middle East)

solidifying Nemr’s legacy as the biggest

name in stand up in the region. Nemr also

has numerous television credits from major

networks in the Middle East, has been seen

on CNN, was a guest on BBC HARDTalk, and

appeared on ‘The Nightly Show with Larry

Wilmore’.

As an accomplished stand-up comic with

eight full feature shows it’s no wonder Nemr’s

world tours have enjoyed unprecedented

success, selling out across the globe from

every major city in the U.S. to Europe and

the Middle East. His first global event was

captured in his hit comedy special, ‘No

Bombing in Beirut’, which was filmed in both

Lebanon and Los Angeles, and premiered

on Showtime, and is now available worldwide. Since then he toured ‘Love Isn’t the

Answer’ and ‘The Future is NOW!’ which came to an end at the peak of its run due

to COVID shutting the world down.

But now Nemr is back with another brand new hilarious show! Following what the

world has been through, it’s a show you won’t want to miss! And in between shows

you can catch Nemr live on his twitch channel nemrcomedy!

Steve Stucker

Steve Stucker is a weatherman

for KOB 4’s “Eyewitness News

Today” show in Albuquerque,

New Mexico. This morning

program airs weekdays from 4:30 a.m.

to 7:00 a.m. With over 30 years with

KOB television, Stucker has been

continuously forecasting weather in

New Mexico longer than any other TV

personality.

Stucker has received dozens of honors

in his years on KOB 4, including being

voted Best of the City awards for

“Best TV Personality” and/or “Best

Meteorologist” the past 16 years in a row,

by readers of a local lifestyle publication,

“Albuquerque, The Magazine.”

Stucker is well known throughout New

Mexico for his community involvement,

which includes working with dozens of nonprofit groups, churches and schools.

He has spoken to thousands of students about the importance of staying in

school, and making their dreams come true. He is sought after as a motivational

speaker for civic organizations, graduations and corporate events. He has served

as the master of ceremonies host for more events than any other person in the

history of New Mexico.

Stucker brings his “Celebrity Weather Dogs” on air with him every Friday

morning for his popular Parade of Pets feature, which promotes adoption

through local animal shelters.

He is a fixture at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and he has not

missed a single broadcast in more than 30 years. Stucker goes live from the field

all nine mornings of the event and has developed a worldwide following through

his colorful comments and his outrageous Balloon Fiesta costume and pin

collection. Stucker jokes that he is the probably the most photographed human

at Balloon Fiesta every year.

Stucker is the Founder and Director of Beds4kidz, a branch of UpB4 the Son

Charities & Ministries. Beds4kidz gives beds to families who are sleeping on the

floor. To date, they have placed more than 11,000 people in clean, comfortable

beds, free of charge.

He has been married to his wife Rose for 28 years and they have four

adult children and three grandchildren. Stucker is an Ordained Chaplain

(International Fellowship of Chaplains), and the Men’s Ministry Pastor at New

Covenant Church of Albuquerque.

In addition to his professional accolades and personal accomplishments Stucker

is also a rookie beekeeper. Tonight we toast his sweet success on all fronts.




Tom Leander

Tom Leander is a two-time Rocky Mountain Emmy

Awarded television and radio sports broadcaster with

more than 38 years of on-air experience. While his

background includes radio, television sportscasting,

editing and sports production, the majority of his career has

been as an on-air personality for the Phoenix Suns.

Leander first started as a Suns “ball boy” in the mid 1970’s. In

1993, he secured his dream job with the team as the host and

producer of pre-game, half-time and post-game shows. He

continues in that role, along with some play-by-play duties to

this day.

Leander is a 1982 graduate of Brophy College Preparatory in

Phoenix where he played varsity basketball. He then attended

Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and became the

University’s Sports Director for KXLU Radio, calling play-by-play

for the LMU men’s basketball team for three years. Following

his college career, he moved into on-air television work when he

joined the CBS affiliate KMST-TV in Monterey, California, as a

sports anchor and reporter. He then moved on to Tucson’s CBSaffiliate

KOLD-TV, also as a sports reporter and anchor.

Moving back to Phoenix in 1991, Leander joined the Suns

organization as the host and producer of its pre-game, halftime and postgame shows. He

spent many years working alongside former Suns players Tom Chambers and Eddie Johnson.

Leander’s other play-by-play experience includes the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury with Hallof-Famer

Anne Meyers Drysdale, Arena Football League’s Arizona Rattlers, Pac-12 College

Football’s ASU Sun Devils, Indoor Soccer’s Arizona Sandsharks and live-streaming high school

basketball and football games for the Brophy Broncos.

In 2016, Leander wrapped up a project titled, “The Sunderella Suns,” a one-hour documentary

which recaptured the magic of the 1975-76 Suns team that reached the NBA Finals. This earned

Leander a Rocky Mountain Emmy Award for sports production.

Leander coaches 8th grade basketball at Saint Simon and Jude Catholic School, runs his

Leander Hoop Academy for kids K-8, and teaches TV and radio broadcasting courses at

Brophy College Preparatory where he mentors high school students in learning the beauty and

complexity of sports broadcasting.

He and his wife Sandy have been married 30 years. They met and fell in love at KOLD-TV in

Tucson while working as fellow reporter/anchors. The couple has three beautiful children:

Lauren, Keaton and Bryson, and three dogs — two rescues and his favorite mountain biking

partner, an Australian shepherd named Bindi.

Tara Hitchcock

Tara Hitchcock knew she wanted to be on television in the

sixth grade. Thanks to a teacher who saw early on that this

girl could TALK, she enrolled in a speech and debate class

in high school and never looked back. Indeed, years later

when she was the host of Good Morning Arizona, there would be

segments of the show that would be internally slugged simply as

“Tara Talks.”

Hitchcock graduated cum laude with a BA in Communications

and Political Science from Boston College and went on to get her

Master’s Degree in Broadcast Journalism from the Medill School

at Northwestern. It only took one phone call to get her first job

in TV at KBMT-TV in Beaumont, Texas. She quickly proved her

deftness in covering crawfish festivals and holiday tree lightings,

and within three months, Hitchcock was named the station’s main

co-anchor.

In 1996, she moved to Phoenix to host the highly-rated Good

Morning Arizona on KTVK-TV. “Tara is smart, funny and a breath

of fresh air -- and for someone who loves to talk, she is one of the

best listeners and interviewers you’ll ever see,” says the guy who

hired her, former KTVK news director Phil Alvidrez. “Her quick

wit, down-to-earth personality and ability to move seamlessly

between the serious and the silly endeared her to viewers.

Hitchcock has made her mark on Arizona television. She has

interviewed everyone from John McCain to Justin Bieber

and her love of sports has brought her to host shows from the

Masters, Super Bowl and World Series. She also accumulated an inordinate amount of predawn

speeding tickets over the years in her race to get to work. She would have had even more

speeding tickets, but she talked her way out of them.

A member of the Critics’ Choice Association, Hitchcock currently hosts “Behind The Screens”

for Harkins Theatres. Viewers can catch her weekly celeb/travel segments on “Good Morning

Arizona” and “MORE Good Day Oregon.” Her other passion is travel, and you can read about

her adventures in her periodic “Tara’s Big Travels” feature in Phoenix Magazine (as well as JetSet

Magazine, City Lifestyle publications & more).

Off camera, Hitchcock has used her high profile to help countless charities. She’s been honored

with numerous awards for her tireless work in the community, named as one of Arizona’s Top

Ten “Trendsetters” in 2012. She has helped raise a tremendous amount of money for the Barrow

Neurological Center. She serves on the board of Best Buddies Arizona, is a National Celebrity

Ambassador for Childhelp USA and is active in charities including the Foundation for Blind

Children, Celebrity Fight Night, For Those without a Voice and more. She and her three sisters

participated in multiple AVON 2-day breast cancer walks in honor of their grandmother, Babci.

Chris Schueler

Chris Schueler has created more than one hundred

television programs over the past 25 years. These

programs have garnered 26 Rocky Mountain

Emmy® Awards and some have been broadcast

throughout the world.

Focusing on educational and social issues, Schueler has

experience in youth programming, cultural and social

documentaries and video projects, and family series

television. His clients have included the United Nations,

the National Institute of Mental Health, the PBS Network,

the CBS Network Foundation as well as networks and

government entities worldwide.

Schueler’s program topics have ranged from global warming

solutions to mental health stigma as well as domestic

violence, teen pregnancy prevention, AIDS, alcohol,

gambling addiction and opioid abuse.

His documentaries focusing on the environment, health and

social issues, and Native American challenges have not only

educated the viewing audience, but also have been used by

lawmakers and community leaders to inform decision making.

Schueler includes social marketing and target audience outreach for all his projects,

involving extensive use of electronic and internet platforms to address issues primarily

focused on teenagers and their families. In addition to including a large group of

teenagers in the programs production and outreach efforts, each of these projects

include organizing partnerships with nonprofit stakeholders, government entities and

private businesses. These documentaries and community outreach projects include

not only the airing of the programs in prime time, but also curriculum guides, Town Hall

meetings, specialized educational videos, and internet components including live web

cam interaction and text messaging.

The National Broadcast Association for Community Affairs named Chris Schueler

national “Innovator of the Year” for his nationally syndicated, News 101 Project that

trained teenagers to produce television news stories for local network affiliates.

Schueler has used his model to train journalists around the world in creating social issue

documentaries.

Schueler is the Executive Director of “SafeTeen New Mexico” which was named one of

the six best Community Outreach Programs in the United States.

And tonight, he can add member of the prestigious NATAS Silver Circle Society in the

Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter to that list.

Bruce Haffner

Don’t tell Bruce Haffner it can’t be done.

Let’s start with his years as a student and fresh

out of ASU, when everyone wanted to be part of

the newest craze -- the music video. There you

found Bruce Haffner, helping produce an MTV-style show

showcasing the likes of U2, B.B. King and Rod Stewart.

Then, it was on to yet another competitive, high octane

vocation -- TV news. As a television news cameraman

covering stories around the country and across Arizona,

Haffner earned 15 Emmy Awards. “While most of us

know Bruce Haffner as the helicopter pilot and reporter

on Phoenix airwaves for years, he is also an amazing

photographer and editor,” says former KTVK executive

producer Abbie Smith. “His storytelling abilities behind the

camera were among the best in the business, capturing

the beauty and the challenges of people and places all

over Arizona. But it was telling stories from the air that

he loved the most, so while he was doing his day job as a

photographer and editor for NewsChannel 3, he was also

working to get his pilot/helicopter license so he could live his dream.”

And once he got that pilot’s license, Haffner transformed his career into a helicopter pilot. And

not just any helicopter pilot. Given his news experience, he took his TV photography experience

in the air and calls his helicopter “just an expensive tripod.” Haffner also supplied support for

reporters on the ground while they covered breaking news. “Whenever we were entering the

Gates of Hell on the ground,” says former KTVK reporter Mike Watkiss, who from time to time

has used his share of colorful descriptions, “it was always comforting to know Haffner was up in

the sky looking out for us and guiding us in.”

In 2009, Haffner saw his career change dramatically when KTVK sold its helicopter. Two years

later, he bought his own helicopter and launched CHOPPERGUY to provide top quality

aviation aerial video production and news coverage for KTVK and later KPHO CBS 5 as well. His

company also shoots aerials for production companies, ad agencies and CHOPPERGUY even

has a few movie credits on the big screen.

Haffner’s 25-year run as a Pilot/Reporter for KTVK-TV3 and CBS 5 ended in 2020. Now he

produces THE CHOPPERGUY SHOW on his CHOPPERGUY YouTube channel.

“Drones take great pictures from on high at a cost that’s low,” says former KTVK news director

Phil Alvidrez. “But Bruce Haffner took viewers with him on daily adventures, and his storytelling

rides were worth every penny. Phoenix television is poorer without him in the sky.”

If Haffner’s career proves anything, it is that we shouldn’t be surprised when he recreates himself

once again.

Lisa Fuller Magee

Lisa Fuller Magee started her broadcast career

in radio when she was just 16 years old. Being a

disc jockey helped put her through college at the

University of Nebraska at Kearney. A few years

after she graduated, a visit to Arizona would change her

broadcasting path.

Magee took a part-time job at KTVK-TV as what was then

known as a “live-truck driver” -- driving a microwave truck

to locations and engineering the equipment so reporters

could do live-shots throughout the Valley. It was a great

experience as she moved into what she loved -- writing

stories, telling stories and coordinating broadcasts. Now 34

years later, she has been a writer, assistant producer, show

producer, live program producer, booker, special project

producer, movie critic and Senior Producer -- all at KTVK.

For nearly 15 years, Magee was the line and show

producer for Good Morning Arizona, a runaway hit

and ratings grabber in the Phoenix market. Also during

that time, Magee served as a movie critic for the show.

After producing Good Morning Arizona during the weekdays, she would fly to

Los Angeles or New York on weekends to see movies, interview the actors and

then turn the interviews into stories for Good Morning Arizona. She also did liveshots

and interviews from locations around the world, including Hawaii, Genoa,

London, Toronto, Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro and Moscow. Magee also used her

entertainment contacts to book and handle hundreds of movie stars, comedians

and bands when they appeared on Good Morning Arizona. This included everyone

from Jason Aldean to Damon Wayans to Liam Hemsworth.

“Viewers may not know that Lisa Fuller Magee is a Phoenix television institution,”

says Phil Alvidrez, the former longtime News Director at KTVK and now a partner

in MagicDust Television. “She would hate that description, but it’s true. And many

of the stories viewers loved for years on Good Morning Arizona never would have

happened without Lisa’s guiding hand.”

Her co-workers agree.

“Lisa has always been the consummate professional and the person you wanted

in the booth producing live programming like Good Morning Arizona,” says Abbie

Smith, the Executive Producer of The List and former KTVK co-worker. “She was

always the calm in the storm when news was breaking, and it had to get on the air.”

“Lisa is the total package,” says Marty Hames, the Community Liaison of Circle the

City and a former Good Morning Arizona anchor. “She is the definition of integrity, a

class act, and a true friend.”
