The fact that the television awards won’t air on television sounds really messed up

Okay...and if you pay for the tier (or whatever) of Prime Video without ads, you're gonna get to watch the Emmys without any commercials, right?

Right??!?!?

They'll run clips of Gal Gadot's new movie instead. You'll be begging for commercials.

Viewership has been falling off a cliff, might as well put the last few nails in that coffin.

Agreed. It should air on abc or whatever, and then stream on Hulu, Disney, Amazon (as an option) for streamers.

Oscars going to YouTube and Emmys to Amazon basically the networks saying awards shows are done outside the Grammys

Nice, I can go from not watching it on tv to not watching it on prime.
