WABC-TV wins 19 New York Emmys, including awards for 'News Excellence' and 'Overall Excellence'

NEW YORK (WABC) -- ABC 7 New York once again celebrated big at the New York Emmy Awards on Saturday night.

In total, WABC-TV won 19 Emmys, including one of the top awards of the evening for "News Excellence."

Among the Emmy recipients was veteran Eyewitness News Reporter Stacey Sager, who won a trophy for her very personal special, "3 Decades, 3 Cancers."

"This is way more than a story; this is way more than an Emmy for a story. It's an Emmy for my life, it's an Emmy for survival," Sager said during her acceptance speech. "Three cancers over three decades -- I want to dedicate this to Marilyn, my mother, who lost her life so early. She had no idea, but her death saved me from mine."

WABC-TV also won the grand prize for "Overall Excellence."
