After a 21 year hiatus from television, Dick Flavin, playwright of According to Tip, has been nominated for a New England Emmy award in the writing category, making it his 15th nomination. Dick was first nominated thirty years ago at the very first New England Emmy awards and in it's following nine years was nominated 14 times receiving 7 awards. This makes Dick the only person who has been nominated every year of eligibility as well as the only one who has had a twenty-one year hiatus between nominations.
Dick is also the only individual who has been nominated working not for a television or cable outlet, but for a sports franchise. After leaving TV in 1986 to pursue speaking and writing interests, he did not return until 2007 when the Red Sox asked him to get involved with Red Sox Stories, a program that aired on Channel 38 on Sunday nights, produced by the Red Sox themselves.
The winners will be announced on May 10th!
