Two of The County Channel's award-winning nature series, Coastal Kingdom and Night Skies of Beaufort County, have been nominated for 2021 Southeastern EMMY Awards in multiple categories.

Coastal Kingdom was nominated for its episode entitled Coastal Kingdom: At Home, which was produced entirely during the events of the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode features backyard wildlife and demonstrates the vast diversity of life that lives right in your own neighborhood.

The host of Coastal Kingdom, Tony Mills, was also nominated for best on-camera talent. Tony has previously won two EMMYs in this category.

The stargazing series Night Skies of Beaufort County was also nominated in the category of Best Science Programming (Short Form) for its episode about Gravity.

Night Skies of Beaufort County is produced and hosted by naturalist Kristen Marshall Mattson.

Coastal Kingdom and Night Skies of Beaufort County are produced in partnership between The County Channel and The LowCountry Institute on Spring Island.

Southeast EMMY Awards are a division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
