Not even the Emmys could break the TV business’ dark mood. Sexual assault and harassment allegations against high-ranking figures, mega-acquisition deals that have created massive uncertainty, and continued struggles to represent diversity on screen — all combined to create an atmosphere in which celebrating TV proved too difficult a task (one made no easier by a pair of curiously low-energy hosts). But the key takeaways from Sept. 17’s Primetime Emmy Awards did at least provide an accurate reflection of an unsettled industry.
Broadcast Waning
The Big Four in August renewed their deal with the TV Academy to share telecast rights for the Emmys through 2026 — ensuring that, for the next eight years, at least, one of broadcast’s biggest programming events will be a three-hour commercial for shows that are not available on broadcast. Of the 26 Emmys given out on the night, Netflix, Amazon, HBO and FX accounted for all but three.
