Suns Broadcast Productions Win Two Emmy Awards

The Phoenix Suns Broadcast Productions team received two Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards in the Topical Documentary and Live Sports Producer categories at the 39th Annual Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards this weekend. The ceremony, hosted by actor and comedian David Koechner, was held on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale.

Suns Broadcaster Tom Leander and Senior Editor Tommy Arguelles earned Emmy Awards in the Topical Documentary category for their outstanding work producing "Sunderella Suns," a one-hour feature that tells the story of the 1975-76 Phoenix Suns. In just the eighth year of the franchise’s existence, the Suns defeated the top-seeded Golden State Warriors in seven games to capture the 1976 Western Conference title and reach the NBA Finals for the first time in team history.
