Daytime fans will be happy to know that on the heels of ABC’s primetime special, “The Story of Soaps,” the Daytime Emmy Awards will air Friday, June 26 at 8:00pm ET/PT on CBS. The guests and winners will appear remotely due to the current stay-at-home orders.
The awards have recognized outstanding achievement in daytime television programming since 1974 and are presented to individuals and programs broadcast between 2:00 am and 6:00 pm, as well as certain categories of digital and syndicated programming of similar content.
“As a leader in Daytime, we are thrilled to welcome back the Daytime Emmy Awards,” said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music and Live Events for CBS. “Daytime television has been keeping viewers engaged and entertained for many years, so it is with great pride that we look forward to celebrating the best of the genre here on CBS.”
This year’s awards be announced tomorrow, May 21, on the CBS Daytime program “The Talk” and ETOnline.com, followed by wide release to other interested outlets.
The June 26 telecast will be produced by the National Academy and Associated Television International (ATI), which previously produced the Daytime Emmy Awards on The CW in 2009 and CBS’ most recent broadcasts in 2010 and 2011.
Additional categories will be announced simultaneously on Twitter (@DaytimeEmmys), and others will be presented in a separate ceremony in July.
