CUNY TV Producer and host Despina A. Teodorescu-Maris won an Emmy Award on Sunday, April 1, 2012, at the New York Emmy® Awards Gala held in NYC. Teodorescu-Maris is a Greek-American who was awarded for Best Community/Public Service (PSA) Campaign, "That's Me. That's CUNY." The spot features Liliete Lopez, a Nicaraguan immigrant, whose disability drives her desire to be a leader. The campaign promotes the benefits of going to college and pursuing a good education.

CUNY TV, the City University of New York television station cablecast in New York City’s five boroughs, won another two New York Emmy® Awards at the 55th Annual ceremony: Nueva York, the series about Latino culture in New York and a previous winner of six Emmys®, won Best Magazine Program for its “Best of Season 6” episode featuring a variety of this year’s stories, and Best Program / Special in the Environment category for “Auralís,” about a Puerto Rican fashion designer experiencing her New York Fashion Week debut who makes eco-friendly clothing.

“CUNY TV is proud to be part of a city with myriad diverse communities,” said Robert Isaacson, the station’s Executive Director. “We are committed to presenting the inspirational stories to be found in them. Thanks and congratulations to the CUNY TV teams that made these three awards a reality.”

Since 1999, when the station began entering the local Emmy® competition, CUNY TV has won a total of nine Emmy® Awards and has earned 36 nominations.

CUNY TV is carried in New York City’s five boroughs on Channel 75 on Time Warner and Cablevision, Channel 77 on RCN, and on Channel 30 on Verizon FiOS. For more information their website is www.cuny.tv
