Rialto Channel to Screen Emmys – But Not Live

If you want to see the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, you’ll have to watch it behind a pay wall behind a pay wall — and it won’t even be live!

Kudos to indie channel Rialto for picking up Monday’s ceremony but Sky customers will have to subscribe to the premium service to see it (whereas in previous years it was on the Vibe channel).

The good news is the show will be commercial-free; the bad news is it won’t be live.

Rialto’s coverage will start just as the last of the awards are presented in LA: the Red Carpet Pre-Show will air from 5.30 and the awards presentation, which father-and-son Eugene and Dan Levy will host, from 6.30.

“As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, we are honoured to be part of this global event, especially as New Zealand continues to make its mark in the television world,” the Rialto announcement says.

Leading the nominations are the Disney+ sensation The Bear in the Comedy category, which has been nominated for a record 23 Emmys, while another Disney+ exclusive, Shōgun, tops the Drama nominations with 25.
