From The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences ACADEMY NEWS
PRIMETIME EMMYS:
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, ON CBS
The show will go on, but the show won't be the same.
Delayed by the terror attacks on Manhattan and Washington, the 53rd
Annual Prime-Time Emmy Awards have been rescheduled for broadcast
on CBS from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday,
October 7 (8:00 – 11:00 p.m. live ET/delayed PT). The new
date was announced September 14 by the network and the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences.
After lengthy discussions, the organizations decided not only to
delay the awards show but to present a program different in tone
and approach than the one originally prepared. Traditionally, the
Emmys are a tribute to the television industry; this year, the
industry will join the nation to reaffirm the spirit of Americans.
Executive Producer Don Mischer and his production team were
working on a program to demonstrate respect and the solidarity
between the TV community and viewers across America who are
dealing with the tragedy.
Further details will be announced next week as they become
available.

NOTE: CBS and ATAS would like to thank the Museum of Television
& Radio for supporting the rescheduling of the Emmys and
agreeing to reschedule its planned October 7 event.
Robert Batscha, President of the Museum of Television & Radio
said: "The Museum is cooperating with ATAS to facilitate the
rescheduling of this year’s Emmy Awards. Recognizing the
importance of the entertainment industry coming together as a
community in the wake of the recent tragic events, we are moving
our annual gala, which this year salutes Jim Burrows and Martin
Sheen, from October 7 to another date to be announced shortly."
