"It's a matter of giving honor where honor is due," Draper says.

"Honor is due to so many people here in Baltimore. We accepted and received so many nominations so many people deserving, so I think we are just scratching the surface here tonight, but it's important to say to people, Well done."

Along with Draper, WMAR-2 News Kelly Swoope was also honored for her career in local news.
