ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., June 25, 2024 — LG Electronics USA announced today that season two of its original docu-series, “LG Presents: The Rivalries” on LG Channels has received recognition from multiple international award programs, including the MUSE Creative Awards, the Webby Awards and the Telly Awards.

“LG is focused on bringing unique content to its LG Smart TV owners and sharing more 'Life's Good' moments with our consumers,” said Jeannie Lee, Director of Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics USA. “In developing The Rivalries, we noticed that so much already existed to cover top-tier Division I college sports and men's competitions. We wanted to leverage LG Channels to spotlight student-athletes competing in rivalries across emerging sports, bringing attention to all of the smaller but no less mighty rivalries that exist today in other college divisions. These awards are a testament to the impact of The Rivalries and the dedication of our partners who have shared LG’s vision and brought this series to life.”
