Emmy Awards Rescheduled by NATAS

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) has announced significant changes to the scheduling of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, with the latter moving from June to October 2025. This shift aims to allow the News and Documentary Emmys to honor timely content earlier in the year, now scheduled for June, while the Daytime Emmys will benefit from additional time to secure a new broadcast partner following CBS's exit. NATAS President Adam Sharp emphasized the importance of recognizing the timely nature of news and documentary programming. The modifications come after a year marked by emotional highs and lows in soap operas, with Michael Fairman TV reflecting on the best and worst moments of 2024 in the genre. General Hospital emerged as a standout show amidst the mixed performances across the soap landscape. The Daytime Emmys will now have to navigate this new timing as they prepare for the upcoming ceremony.
