Although they operate with but a fraction of the news budgets of the commercial broadcast networks, PBS and cable networks took the lion's share of awards at Monday's News & Documentary Emmys. PBS received 10 awards, including four for Frontline and others for Nova, Nature, P.O.V., American Experience and AIR: America's Investigative Reports -- more than all the broadcast networks combined. CBS News was in second place with five awards, four of them for 60 Minutes, the other for a Lara Logan report from Iraq on the CBS Evening News. Ted Koppel's special, Iran: The Most Dangerous Nation, which aired on the Discovery Channel, received the award for the year's outstanding longform informational program. A documentary on Cinemax, God Sleeps in Rwanda and another on the Documentary Channel, Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire -- both dealing with the Rwanda genocide -- also were awarded Emmys. Besides being recognized for his work on Discovery, Koppel also picked up a lifetime achievement award.
