According to a recent report, this year’s Emmy Award can be delayed because of the SAG and WGA strike. There has been a lot of confusion about the dates of the Emmy Awards premiere due to the ongoing SAG and WGA strike. The strike seems like a big reason for the delay of the awards.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Delay of The 75th Emmy Awards
According to a Variety report, there was a disagreement between the Television Academy and Fox, the broadcaster of the show, regarding the rescheduling of the 75th annual Iconic Television Awards. The Academy expressed its desire to move the event to November, which is two months later than its usual air date of September 18. They intended to allow sufficient time for the resolution of any ongoing issues concerning the unions involved.
In light of various high-profile events and NFL games scheduled for November, Fox has decided to reschedule the 75th annual Iconic Television Awards to January 2024 for its airdate. This choice was made due to the already crowded nature of November’s calendar, ensuring that the awards show receives the attention and viewership it deserves.
