35th Annual Emmy Nominations
DETROIT (5/16/13) – Over the last three years, the Detroit Titans Court Report has profiled and followed the University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team from the start of the season all the way through its postseason achievements. For its extraordinary programing over this past year the series on FOX Sports Detroit has been nominated for another Michigan Emmy.
“The crew at FOX Sports Detroit and Good Problem Productions do a terrific job working with our men's basketball team and it is truly a well-deserved honor,” said Interim Director of Athletics Jason Horn. “FSD has been a solid broadcast partner as the growth of the show has also helped to increase our fan base across the state.”
The Michigan Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Science will hold its 35th Annual Emmy Gala at the MotorCity Casino Sound Board Theatre on June 15, 2013.
The Emmy that the Titan Court Report is nominated for is an Outstanding Documentary (Historical) from the seasons first episode
Legends & Traditions.
The Detroit Titans Court Report - produced by Alex Wright (Good Problem Productions), Oliver Thornton, Chad Schwartzenberger and Ashley Lukes – are competing against three other documentaries:
A Century in Stone (WTVS),
Michigan At War: Struggle For the Old Northwest Territory (WTVS) and
The Korean War – Voices from the 38th Parallel (WDCQ).
The Court Report won an Emmy in the Sports Program Series category last year over the
Ford Lions Report LIVE (WXYZ),
Tigers Live Comp. Reel (FS Detroit) and the
Tigers Live - Justin Verlander No-Hitter (FS Detroit).
FOX Sports Detroit - the home state station for Titan men's basketball games that has provided statewide coverage of UDM - has now won over 90 Emmys since 2000.
The show is a monthly all-access look at UDM's men's basketball program and featured seven episodes this past season, broadcasted nationally on the cable sports network—all in High Definition— with numerous re-airs throughout FSD's lineup.
The 30-minute show, which features local personalities such as Trevor Thompson, Justin White, and Shannon Hogan, provided a look inside the Titan program with player features, interviews and highlights. The 2012-13 series was the program's third year following the six-episode campaign in 2011-12.
