In the category of interstitials, Sharon Wright with She's Always Wright captured two Emmys – the first, writing for program/non-news and the second, interstitial programming for Change for a Dollar.

Business and the Arts
Residents, artists and business leaders have begun to understand how critical art is to the "public good." A thriving and vibrant art scene benefits everyone: tourism dollars as visitors visit museums and art galleries; national attention with such the Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts; and folks from the community, taking time from their busy weeks to see what arts lie in their own backyards.
