LA CROSSE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – And the Emmy Award goes to… us!

Fox 25/48 has won an Upper Midwest Regional Emmy Award in the “Historical Documentary” category for “Rivertown: The Ballad of Brinkman Ridge”. To say we are proud of our hardworking Creative Services team would be an understatement. This is Fox 25/48’s first Emmy award and second nomination.

Rivertown is an original FOX25/48 production of local stories with a spooky bend to them. FOX25/48 has been producing Rivertown for the past three years with help from various community entities like La Crosse Public Library, Murphy Library Special Collections/ARC, and the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. The Creative Services team are heavily planning and producing this year’s Rivertown as we speak.

A special congratulations to all who helped create the Emmy award-winning Rivertown: The Ballad of Brinkman Ridge.
