KATC is a recipient of a regional Edward R. Murrow award in connection with a investigative report titled "Body of Evidence." In that story, KATC's Jim Hummel examines permits issued for cremations of homicide victims in Louisiana, despite a law that prohibits that. This report has also been awarded a regional Emmy Award for Investigative Reporting.
This is the third regional Edward R. Murrow award won by KATC's Investigative team. In 2020, we were honored with two in connection with "The List," a series of reports on the church sex abuse crisis. "The List" was also awarded a regional Emmy Award for "News Special" following our half-hour report.
