MTV, Kaiser Family Foundation Win Emmy for PSA campaign
New York: MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation have won a National Emmy Award for Be Safe/Fight for Your Rights: Protect Yourself, a US public education campaign that informs young people about sexual health issues like HIV/AIDS and STDs through public service messages, special programming, online resources, and an extensive resource and referral service.
The campaign includes the segments – Convenient Store, Football and NightClub.
According to surveys conducted by the Foundation, young Americans cite sexual health as a top concern than any other issue, and three out of four say they don’t get the information they need to make informed and responsible sexual health decisions. Since 1997, MTV and Kaiser have teamed up to provide young people with information about related issues and have produced eight full-length specials and over two-dozen PSAs under the partnership. More than 750,000 viewers have called the campaign’s anonymous hotline, claims MTV.
Another of the Foundation’s public education campaigns was Talking with Kids … And Parents, a partnership with MTVs’ sister channel Nickelodeon. Other awards presented at the Emmys included The Community Service Award which went to WFLD-TV (FOX), Chicago for The Experiment in Black and White, which used reality TV to evoke open and honest discussions about race in Chicago.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
