The County Channel’s nature series Coastal Kingdom has been nominated for a 2022 Southeastern EMMY Award in the category of Best On-Camera Host. This is the fifth time Coastal Kingdom’s host and naturalist Tony Mills has been nominated for Best TV Host and if successful, would be his third EMMY.
The series won the award in 2018 and 2019.
To date, the Coastal Kingdom team has received seven Southeastern EMMY nominations. The EMMY winners for 2022 will be announced later this year.
Southeastern EMMY Awards are a division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Coastal Kingdom is hosted by Mills, a naturalist and educator, and is a production partnership between The County Channel and The LowCountry Institute on Spring Island.
Created and produced by County Broadcast Services Producer Rob Lewis, Coastal Kingdom has been produced for over a decade, and has been used in classrooms all over South Carolina.
It has been invaluable in featuring the beautiful habitats, and unique creatures of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
