SHORT TAKES : Fox to Air Primetime Emmy Show
The Fox network will carry the Primetime Emmy Awards for the next three years, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced today.
Published reports have indicated that Fox Broadcasting Co. will pay the Academy around $9 million for the rights to the show, which will be seen on 129 Fox affiliates.
The contract requires Fox to broadcast the previously non-televised presentation of the 1990-92 Emmy awards for creative arts categories, it was announced.
The Primetime Emmys were first carried by Fox in 1987.
Fox said it will no longer carry the annual “Television Academy Hall of Fame,” which had been coupled with Fox’s deal for the Emmys in its previous three-year pact.
The Academy said another network or cable operator will soon be named to carry the Hall of Fame show.
