    Peter Musurlian and his wife Szilvia, at the 2007 Los Angeles Area Emmy

    BURBANK-Peter Musurlian, the Station Manager and Senior Producer for
    The Burbank Channel, received two Los Angeles Area Emmy® nominations,
    announced on June 30 by John Schaffner, Chairman and CEO of the
    Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

    The nominations are Musurlian's third and fourth over the past decade,
    and come on the heels of his achievement of winning five Golden Mikes
    in January at a Universal City awards banquet sponsored by the Radio
    and Television News Association of Southern California.

    The Los Angeles Area Emmy® Awards, which will be handed-out in North
    Hollywood on August 6, are given for broadcast achievements produced or
    solely financed and controlled by the Los Angeles television stations
    or cable television systems.

    One of Musurlian's nominations is in the category "Information/Public
    Affairs Series (more than 50 percent remote)." It was for his
    quarterly news and feature program, Burbank Magazine, which Musurlian
    single-handedly produces, shoots, writes, reports, anchors, and edits.

    Burbank Magazine is up against an NBC4 program, LX.TV Open House,
    as well as the powerhouse KCET program, SoCal Connected, which has
    a budget 10 times that of Burbank Magazine.

    The other nomination is in the category, "Public, Municipal and
    Operator Produced Cable," for Musurlian's mini-documentary called,
    "Seeing Beyond Borders," which traced the steps of Burbank Lions Club
    members, participating in a program that brings free eyeglasses to
    remote and impoverished areas around the world.

    Musurlian also worked solo on that piece, which included shooting
    video & interviews in Northern California and Chihuahua, Mexico.

    Musurlian has been with The Burbank Channel, the City of Burbank's
    government access station, since 1998. Prior to that, he spent 8
    months in Central Europe, reporting for American Forces Network,
    as a member the United States Army. In the 1980s, he reported for
    television stations in Montana, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

    Musurlian is a graduate of USC's School of Journalism, and holds
    master's degrees from Baylor University, American University and the
    University of Redlands.

    Musurlian is a former ANCA-WR Board Member; a 1983 ABC News intern,
    as part of the Armenian Assembly Summer Intern Program; and is married
    to a high school Social Science teacher at AGBU-MDS in Canoga Park.
