Emmys Vendors Have Been Officially Informed That the Telecast Is Moving Out of September (EXCLUSIVE)

variety.com:

Variety has learned exclusively. The news was expected, amid Hollywood’s shutdown with the writers and actors on strike. But until now, the TV Academy and Fox have kept the telecast’s originally scheduled Sept.

18 date as a placeholder. However, with that date now less than two months away, vendors, producers and others involved with the event needed to start being informed now that their services will need to be pushed. (Same for the Creative Arts Emmys, originally slated to take place on Sept.

9 and Sept. 10.) This now marks the first time the Emmys have been postponed since 2001. That year, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks pushed the Emmy date, initial military action in Afghanistan pushed the telecast again, into November.

At that point, a subdued Emmy telecast took place in a smaller venue (the now-demolished Schubert Theatre in Century City). While an exact date has not been determined (and isn’t expected to be announced until early August), Variety has previously reported that Fox is aiming to air the show in January 2024, while the TV Academy had been pushing for a November date.
