When the Edward R. Murrow Awards were given out in New York in October, WPRI Providence staffers were elated to pick up one of the prestigious national awards — and even happier to be called up for a second one. The station won among small-market media outlets for Best Newscast and Overall Excellence.
As far as he could recall, Patrick Wholey, WPRI-WNAC VP and general manager since 2012, the station had never won a National Murrow before. “I see what we do every day, and how much everyone pours their heart into everything they do,” he said. “It’s nice to see that rewarded.”
