Lou Reda Productions Honored with

Three EMMY Nominations

EASTON, PA, July 18, 2005 – Lou Reda Productions continues its torrid streak of Emmy nominations. The Easton, Pennsylvania powerhouse garnered three out of the fourteen nominations received by the History Channel.

In the Outstanding Historical Programming Long Form category Reda is nominated for its stirring The Last Day of World War I: 11^th Month, 11^th Day, 11^th Hour. The show is a moving adaptation of the best-selling book by Joseph Persico (Random House) detailing the mindless last-day sacrifice of troops, as fighting on the front continued for six senseless hours after the armistice was signed.

Reda’s stunning Eyewitness in Iraq nails double nominations, in the Outstanding Editing and Outstanding Music and Sound categories. The show is a raw, unvarnished look at a frightening new kind of war, told entirely out of the mouths and prize-winning photos of the combat photographers embedded with the fighting units. Two of them have won Pulitzers.

Reda Productions will be represented by Executive Producers Lou and Scott Reda, Executive Editors Sammy Jackson and Tracey Connor, Executive Writer Norman Stahl and Photo Consultant Hal Buell at the awards ceremony to be held on September 19^th.
