WARRENSBURG, MO - The KMOS-TV production “Missouri Life” was recently recognized by the Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In an announcement made in August, two programs from the third season of the series were nominated for Regional Emmy Awards in the category of Best Magazine Program – for profiles of Callaway County and Cape Girardeau. The awards will be announced at a ceremony on Sept. 22 in St. Louis.

The KMOS production team responsible for the current season is Roy Millen, Christy Millen and Eric Boedeker. The on-screen host is Meredith Hoenes. “Missouri Life” is produced in partnership with the publishers of Missouri Life Magazine, Greg Wood and Danita Allen Wood. In 2017 KMOS was nominated for two “Missouri Life” programs in the same category, and received the Regional Emmy for the program on Silver Dollar City.

The program on Callaway County included visits to the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, the Green Meadow Barn Company, Beks Restaurant, as well as profiles of, and interviews with, local artists and prominent citizens. The Cape Girardeau program included a visit to The Glenn House, and profiles of astronaut Linda Godwin and cartoonist Don Greenwood.

KMOS is presenting broadcasts of seasons 2 and 3 of “Missouri Life” each Thursday between 7 and 8 p.m. The fourth season airs Thursday nights beginning Oct. 4. Missouri communities profiled include Independence, Clinton, Lebanon, and Ste. Genevieve.
