Overview

  • The TCA officially announced the cancellation of its Summer 2025 press tour due to financial constraints and lack of participation from networks and streaming platforms.
  • This marks the second consecutive cancellation, following the Winter 2025 press tour, which was also called off due to insufficient network and studio interest.
  • Networks and streaming platforms cited high costs, including hotel and AV expenses, as barriers to participation despite TCA efforts to reduce costs by half.
  • The TCA is developing alternative ways to connect members with talent and executives, including set visits and other reporting opportunities.
  • Voting for the TCA Awards will proceed in June 2025, with plans underway to reimagine the format of the awards ceremony.
