Emmys Telecast Could Move to Amazon Prime Video, Reports Say
The Television Academy is weighing a streaming shift after the last broadcast deal paid about $8 million a year, sources said.
- The Television Academy is in advanced negotiations with Amazon Prime Video to become the new home of the Primetime Emmy Awards, potentially ending the 31-year tradition of rotating the ceremony across major broadcast networks.
- Monday's 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on NBC marked the final broadcast under the long-standing "wheel deal," an eight-year agreement that rotated hosting duties annually between ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.
- Ratings for the annual ceremony have dwindled to around 8 million viewers in recent years, prompting the Academy to seek a dedicated partner motivated to promote the show beyond a single year's rotation.
- This potential shift follows a wider industry trend, as other major ceremonies like the Academy of Country Music Awards, the Oscars, and the SAG-AFTRA Actor Awards have increasingly migrated to streaming platforms.
- TV Academy chair Cris Abrego noted last week that "conversations are continuing" regarding the future home of the televised awards ceremony, though no official deal has been announced by the organization.
