Emmys 2024

Why no Emmy Awards show for this year on Sky? Bit disappointing. Does anyone know if some other platform is showing it ( & yes, I know it was on last night so it won't be live )?

The interweb says ABC and then Hulu in the USA, but according to the BBC 'no UK broadcaster is scheduled to show it'.

Most of it (perhaps all) is available on the official YouTube channel.

@Mister_Dalek I checked that link out but it's not what I'm looking for, all it has is a load of short videos rather than the whole show in one go. I did find two videos on YT that have the entire show. Unfortunately, moments into it a large, black square fills most of the image telling me to " click on a link in live chat & donate now for a free broadcast " which doesn't sound good, I mean " free " & " donate "? Looks like I'll have to miss it this year.

Probably the same reason they stopped showing The Oscars - low viewership

A bit unfair though. I'm sure there are a lot of programmes on that have low viewership, but there are still people interested in seeing them, no matter how niche they may be. Also, it's the Emmys, an awards show that actually celebrates TV shows, you know, the same TV shows that are shown on Sky. If anything, the Emmys could boost ratings for Sky. I notice that Sky is quite happy to display the Emmy winners on their Home Page, it would have been nice to see the winners receive their awards.

Not my thing, but that's a good point.

Yes, but disney plus and netflix do the same too.

As I posted earlier, you can watch all the main winners being announced and their acceptance speeches on the official Television Academy YouTube channel:

You basically get the entire show without the multitude of ad breaks, plus backstage interviews.

@nolte Yes, I realise that. My original point was that it was a shame the Emmys weren't shown on Sky as they had been in previous years. That then relates to my comment about the Home Page on Sky.

@Mister_Dalek I appreciate the link but where it takes me to is a page with over 50 short videos related to the Emmys, rather than the one complete video I was hoping for with the whole show on it. Never mind, I've sort of given up on it now, especially as I have seen who most of the winners are. No element of surprise now.
