PBS tops Daytime Creative Arts Emmy winners

PBS came out as the big winner at the 39th annual Daytime Entertainment Creative Arts Emmys on Sunday night with 13 wins, including Emmys for children’s series (“The Electric Company”), writing in a children’s series (“Sesame Street”) and preschool children’s series (also “Sesame Street”).

Nickelodeon was in second place with 10 wins. ABC was tops among the major networks with 8 wins. Oprah’s fledgling cable channel OWN even managed to grab one Emmy for special class series for “Super Soul Sunday.”

Comedian Byron Allen hosted the event, which took place at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and, unlike the regular Daytime Emmys, wasn’t televised.
