The KMOS-TV production team of, left to right, Eric Boedeker, Meredith Hoenes, Christy Millen and Roy Millen received Emmy Awards from the Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for their segment on Silver Dollar City broadcast on the station’s local program, ĢƵ Life.

The KMOS-TV production team was recognized for excellence in the Magazine Program category for the profile of Silver Dollar City on the locally produced program ĢƵ Life. In producing the segment on Silver Dollar City, the crew interviewed Herschend Family Entertainment founders Pete and Jack Herschend, explored Marvel Cave and took a thrilling ride on a roller coaster.

The KMOS-TV production team responsible for the current season is Thomas Phillips, Roy Millen, Christy Millen and Eric Boedeker. The on-screen host is Meredith Hoenes, who previously has worked with KMIZ-TV in Columbia and KSHB-TV and WDAF-TV in Kansas City.

“ĢƵ Life is a labor of love for all involved,” said Josh Tomlinson, UCM director of Broadcasting Services. “It is only possible through our partnership with ĢƵ Life magazine and the wonderful places and communities we feature, not to mention our dedicated production staff."

ĢƵ Life on KMOS-TV is produced in partnership with ĢƵ Life magazine and publishers Greg Wood and Danita Allen Wood. The third season of ĢƵ Life premieres on Oct 5, and this season the team will visit Cape Girardeau, Callaway County, Chariton County, Moberly, Newton County and Pulaski County. ĢƵ Life is the first KMOS-TV local production that airs on all PBS stations in ĢƵ and may be watched on the PBS app or online at video.kmos.org.

KMOS-TV serves the citizens of 38 central ĢƵ counties with quality educational content and experiences online, over-the-air and in our communities.
