The Daytime Emmy Awards remain on CBS.
Presented by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the awards have signed a new two-year deal that will see the program broadcast live on CBS and for premium subscribers on Paramount+. The deal also includes broadcasting rights to the 2024 Daytime Emmys.
This year’s ceremony will be broadcast live on Friday, June 16 from the Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles.
The Daytime Emmys ceremony has aired on CBS for the past three years and has bounced between networks before, with NBC, ABC, CBS, The CW, Pop, and HLN airing the awards at various times over the past 20 years. The show was without a broadcast partner from 2016-19. The 2022 episode averaged 2.8 million viewers on CBS.
Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, the Daytime Emmy Awards celebrate soap operas, talk shows, game shows, educational or DIY programs, and other genres. NATAS and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which presents the Primetime Emmy Awards, realigned their categories last year (the academies remain separate entities, with NATAS also including the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, the Sports Emmy Awards, and the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. ).
“We are excited to be back two years with our incredible broadcast partner CBS,” Adam Sharp, president and CEO of NATAS, said in a statement. “As we commemorate the show’s golden anniversary this year, we look forward to honoring and celebrating the beloved world of daytime television.”
“CBS has a storied daytime history, and we’re excited to continue hosting the Daytime Emmys on the network for the next two years,” added Mackenzie Mitchell, vp of specials, music and live events at CBS. “We look forward to celebrating the show’s 50th anniversary and highlighting the best that daytime has to offer.”
CBS is home to both The young the restless And The bald and the handsomesoap operas that have been perennial winners at the Daytime Emmys.
