Amazon wins global rights to stream Emmys in six-year deal
Amazon has secured the global rights to stream the Emmy Awards in a landmark six-year agreement. The deal, announced on Monday, will see the tech giant broadcasting the prestigious television awards show to viewers worldwide. The agreement covers the U.S. market as well, where the rights were previously held by CBS.
The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which organizes the Emmys, expressed excitement about the partnership with Amazon. Bruce Paisner, President & CEO of the International Academy, highlighted Amazon’s vast global reach and innovative streaming platform as key factors in the decision.
On the other hand, CBS, the previous broadcaster of the Emmys in the U.S., stated that while they were proud of their history with the awards show, they understood the decision to move to a streaming service. The shift to streaming reflects the changing landscape of television viewership, with more audiences opting for online platforms over traditional TV networks.
Amazon, a major player in the streaming industry with its Amazon Prime Video service, stands to benefit from the increased viewership and prestige associated with streaming live events like the Emmys. The deal not only expands Amazon’s content offerings but also solidifies its position as a leading destination for high-profile entertainment.
The first Emmy Awards to be streamed on Amazon will be the 49th International Emmy Awards ceremony, which is set to take place in November 2022. Viewers can expect a seamless streaming experience and potentially new interactive features as Amazon takes on this new role in broadcasting one of the most anticipated events in the television industry.
