Overview

• The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards show, broadcast on Fox, saw a record low viewership of just 4.3 million, continuing a trend of declining ratings for the annual awards show.
• The show was postponed from its usual spot in September due to ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood, which may have contributed to the low viewership.
• The Emmys had to compete with a busy broadcast night, including an NFL playoff game and coverage of the Iowa caucuses.
• Other awards shows have also seen drops in viewership, but some, like the Golden Globes, have recently seen a rebound.
• The 2024 Emmys are already set to take place later this year when it will be broadcast in September on ABC.
