BYUtv Triumphs with Two Emmy Awards for Family Entertainment Excellence
BYUtv's Remarkable Achievement at the 2025 Emmy Awards
BYUtv, recognized for its commitment to family-friendly programming, has made waves at the 2025 Children's and Family Emmy® Awards. The network proudly walked away with two prestigious awards from an impressive total of eleven nominations, underlining its rapid ascent in the competitive landscape of children's entertainment. This year’s accolades included Amanda Lawrence's win for Outstanding Supporting Performer in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program for her role in the beloved series Malory Towers, alongside a win for Editing for a Multiple-Camera Live-Action Program for All-Round Champion.
A Growing Presence in the Award Scene
The remarkable surge in BYUtv's recognition at these Emmy Awards is a testament to their commitment to producing high-quality content. Since the inception of these awards only three years ago, BYUtv has consistently increased its presence, starting with two nominations and one win in their first year, escalating to seven nominations the following year, and culminating in this year's eleven nominations. This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the stiff competition they face from industry heavyweights like Disney, Nickelodeon, Netflix, and Apple TV+.
The Voices Behind the Success
Andra Johnson Duke, BYUtv's head of content, expressed gratitude for the support from the Emmy community during the award ceremony. ``We are honored to be recognized among such esteemed nominees. These awards highlight the importance of co-viewing content that engages both children and parents.`` This sentiment reflects BYUtv's goal of creating diverse, compelling narratives that resonate with families.
The winning performances and productions coming from BYUtv highlight the network's dedication not just to entertaining, but to uplifting families through thoughtfully crafted storytelling.
Nominations Beyond Expectation
This year's nominations spanned four of BYUtv's standout shows: Malory Towers, All-Round Champion, A Kind of Spark, and Ruby and the Well. Notably, Ella Bright’s continued nomination for her performance in Malory Towers and Lola Blue's significant role in A Kind of Spark represent the network's commitment to inclusivity, showcasing neurodiversity in children's programming.
Amanda Lawrence, recognized for her supporting role in Malory Towers, emotionally thanked her team during her acceptance speech. She acknowledged the warm atmosphere fostered by the cast and crew, which allowed her to explore her creativity freely.
Crafting Quality Entertainment
In addition to the performance awards, BYUtv's craftsmanship was also recognized this year, with nominations spread across directing, editing, lighting, art direction, and costume categories. Noteworthy was the win for All-Round Champion, which triumphed in the competitive multi-cam live action editing category, contending against legendary shows like Sesame Street and The Thundermans Return. Steve Sloan, the executive producer of All-Round Champion, highlighted the extensive efforts of the editing team, acknowledging the complex filming process and innovative techniques employed.
