Emmys to Leave Broadcast for Prime Video, but Structural Flaws Remain

The Television Academy is in advanced talks to move the Primetime Emmy Awards to Amazon Prime Video, ending the 31-year broadcast 'wheel' deal with ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. While this shift promises stability and potential format innovation, industry experts warn that moving to streaming does not automatically solve declining viewership or structural voting issues. The move follows a broader trend of major awards leaving network TV, including the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 and SAG-AFTRA’s Actor Awards on Netflix.

James Ransone's Widow Condemns Double Snub in Emmys and Oscars In Memoriam Tributes

Emmys to Leave Broadcast TV for Prime Video as Wheel Deal Ends

The Television Academy is in advanced talks to move the Primetime Emmy Awards to Amazon Prime Video, ending the 31-year 'wheel deal' with broadcast networks. The 78th ceremony on NBC marked the final broadcast under the current eight-year agreement. This shift would make the Emmys the second major EGOT award to move off network TV, following the Oscars' move to YouTube in 2029. While Prime Video is the leading candidate, the Academy has also explored simulcasts and other streaming platforms, though a single-platform deal offers stability and higher production incentives.

Emmys In Memoriam Snubs Spark Outrage: Chuck Norris Co-Star Calls Omission 'Tragic'

The 2026 Emmy Awards' In Memoriam segment drew sharp criticism for omitting several high-profile figures who died in the past year, most notably action star Chuck Norris. Norris, who passed away in March at age 86, was left out despite his iconic role in 'Walker, Texas Ranger.' His former co-star Judson Mills condemned the exclusion as a 'terrible mistake' that hurt his feelings. The omission is part of a broader pattern of snubs, with other notable absentees including 'Buffy' star Nicholas Brendon, 'Transformers' voice actor Peter Cullen, and 'Days of Our Lives' actor Patrick Muldoon. The Television Academy noted that the live segment could not feature every name, directing fans to a more complete online list.
