Boston cleaned up in the latest round of Emmy awards.
No, not with Boston-set TV shows, or Boston-bred actors and writers. The winners this time? Companies responsible for the technology that helps bring those shows and live events to your TVs, computers, and phones.
Three Greater Boston tech companies won a total of five Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards last week, out of roughly 70 or so that were given out for 2020: Cambridge-based Akamai Technologies, Boston-based Brightcove, and Avid Technology in Burlington.

60 Years of Arizona PBS: A Timeline
Arizona PBS. Channel 8. KAET. A lot of things have changed in our 60 years of broadcasting even our name. As we celebrate our big 60th anniversary this year, we’re reflecting on how we’ve gotten this far, while also planning for ways we can continue to serve our communities in the next 60 years.
KAET was first envisioned in the late 1950s as a way to extend Arizona State University’s resources into local homes, allowing students to take courses via their TV, an idea that feels very prescient in this year of distance learning. In the 1960s version, students watched their lectures on TV, received course materials by mail, and returned their tests the same way.

Eric Fossum, Dartmouth s John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor for Emerging Technologies, has been announced as one of just a few recipients of the 72nd Annual Technology and Engineering Emmy® Awards. The honor, a first for Dartmouth engineering faculty, comes from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) for inventing and pioneering the intra-pixel charge transfer CMOS image sensor the basis for all modern CMOS image sensors, including almost all cell-phone cameras, webcams, and many digital-still cameras.
“First and foremost, it makes me happy to see people using the technology to have fun and enjoy life. But honestly, it is also a little hard to wrap my head around how much impact it has had on society and business and medicine and so many facets of modern life,” said Fossum.
