Orinda resident wins Emmy

Orinda resident Randy DeVecchi recently won an Emmy award at the 48th Northern California Area Emmy Awards recognizing excellence in television broadcasting. DeVecchi, who is a video photographer who has worked at KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland since 1990, won the Emmy for 2019 Outstanding Achievement in the Sports-News Feature/Segment Category. The heartwarming story, called "Ty Whisler -"Ty's Team," was about a 10-year-old boy who was battling cancer at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto and the Stanford men's basketball team, which was performing community service and was visiting Ty. The team and the boy made a personal connection. Inspired by Ty, throughout the next year the basketball team "adopted" him, and during Ty's cancer treatments the team made him team ball boy, and team captain. Both team and Ty had one of their best years ever. DeVecchi, along with reporter Scott Reiss followed the journey of both Ty and the men's team.
The 48th Annual Emmy event was held on June 8 in San Francisco and the event had more than 560 individual nominees. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences represents the talented professionals working in California, including Western Regional States.
