PBS programs have received a record 43 nominations for this year’s Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, announced today by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. This is the largest number of Primetime Emmy nominations PBS has ever received. MASTERPIECE programs led the way for public broadcasting with a combined 25 nominations.
The PBS programs with multiple nominations include MASTERPIECE CLASSIC “Downton Abbey” (11), MASTERPIECE CLASSIC “Upstairs Downstairs” (6), MASTERPIECE CLASSIC “Any Human Heart” (4), MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! “Sherlock: A Study In Pink” (4), AMERICAN EXPERIENCE “Freedom Riders” (3), and AMERICAN MASTERS “LennoNYC” with two nominations.

“Downton Abbey” the most nominated series, will air as an encore presentation over four Sundays beginning August 7 at 9 p.m. on WCVE PBS/WHTJ PBS. Season Two of “Downton Abbey” is scheduled to premiere Winter 2012.
I understand Season 3 has started in the UK. Will we be viewing it soon in Richmond, VA?
Hello Mary Ellen,
Season 3 of Downton Abbey will begin on January 6, 2013.
As a long-time fan and donor, I must tell you that the new series, "Zen," is a big disappointment. The face of the star shows no expression whatsoever; it's like a mask. Furthermore, one can hear only about one out of every 3 words, so it's impossible to follow the plot. Please do not show any more of these! Thanks. By the way, everyone I talk to agrees with me about this show.
