The 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards will be taking place in June 2020 as planned and the show will be returning to CBS for a virtual ceremony!
The network has announced that the show will be broadcast on CBS on Friday, June 26 at 8pm ET/PT. This marks the first time the Daytime Emmys will be shown on TV in five years and the first time they’re on CBS since 2011.
During the broadcast, awards will be presented in leading categories, with recipients and other special guests appearing from home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional categories will be announced simultaneously on Twitter (@DaytimeEmmys), with others presented in a separate ceremony in July.
Nominations for the Daytime Emmys will be announced on The Talk on Friday (May 21) at 2pm ET.
“The Daytime Emmys are coming home,” said Adam Sharp, President & CEO of NATAS. “For generations, daytime television has been a source of comfort and continuity that’s never been more important. We’re delighted to join with CBS in celebrating the programs and professionals who never cease to brighten our days.”
CBS has been slammed for the programming the network has decided to show instead of the Tony Awards in June.
