A Logan County native and 1979 Lewisburg High School graduate has received one of the highest awards her profession presents.
Fadocia Annette Nole-Hall was recently honored with a Mid-South
Regional Emmy award by the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences.
The awards ceremony-hosted by country music artist Hal Ketchum-
was held Jan. 24 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in downtown
Nashville.
She shared the award with her husband, Steve Hall, and David
Vanhooser, Ken Tucket, Barry Cross and Doug Jackson of the
Renaissance Center in Dickson, Tenn. They were recognized for their
work on a Public Affairs Documentary entitled “Baby Daddy/ Baby
Mommy.”
The documentary was commissioned by the Tennessee District
Attorney General’s Conference and is being distributed in high schools around the state.
While accepting her first Emmy, Nole-Hall acknowledged her parents, Geneva Bilbrey of Russellville and Joe Nole of Hermitage, Tenn.: “I want to honor my parents, who worked in factories their entire lives so I could stand up here tonight.
Nole-Hall, who left her job at WSMV television in Nashville 11 years ago to raise her children, also spoke of them: “Ezekiel and Karrie, I want you to know it’s been worth it. The reward is greater than what you are asked to give up.”
If time had not been limited, Nole-Hall also said she would have liked to thank others: “Certainly my sisters, Darlene Heflin of Russellville and Freda Pogue of Greenville, who were instrumental in helping me get through those college years. Also my teachers, Becky Christmas and Bob Birdwhistell, who both acknowledged that I had a future in television and as a writer.”
Nole-Hall is a 1983 cum laude graduate of Western Kentucky University. She was previously employed at WBKO in Bowling Green as well as by several other radio and television stations in Kentucky and Tennessee
