Los Angeles Metro Wins Local Emmy for Union Station Broadcast
Los Angeles Metro recently received a local Emmy Award for an episode of its quarterly Metro Motion television show commemorating the 75th anniversary of Los Angeles Union Station. The broadcast, which aired prior to the Union Station anniversary celebration earlier this year, features interviews with many key players in the station’s story including Metro Chief Executive Officer Art Leahy.
The show recounts the story of the great rail station that opened in 1939: its history, its role as a transit hub anchoring today’s expanding public transit network, and its future as the center of mobility for the Los Angeles region. In addition to serving 70,000 daily commuters on Metro rail and bus, Metrolink commuter rail, other municipal carriers, Union Station has and continues to appear in films, TV shows, and commercials.
Metro Motion, a co-production of Metro and Santa Monica City TV, runs on 80 cable stations throughout Los Angeles County. To see the Emmy-winning show, click here.
