He has been nominated for seven New England Chapter Emmy Awards and, in 1999, he won his first Emmy. In 2007, John won another Emmy Award for "On Camera Talent - Reporter Sports."

In 2008, he was nominated for sports reporting. In 2007, the Connecticut Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists honored John with an award for his story, "102-Year-Old Sox Fan Throws First Pitch."

"Every game has a story, every athlete has a story, and it is my privilege to share these stories with the viewers," John said.
