HBO dominates the Emmys
Bada-Bing! Teaming up "The Sopranos," "Angeles in America" and other original fare, HBO, which used to be a cable network dependent on showing movies that had already run in theaters, ran rough-shod over the broadcast networks. In all, HBO took 32 Emmys. Compare that to Fox, which took second place with 10. Click here for the list of winners of the major Emmys.
TVBR observation:
You answer the question - - What does this say for network TV programming and what the consumer wants and is willing to pay for? TA DUM. Content is King, people. Radio in many ways has lost that edge, Cochise, and soon that trend will come to TV as well - - so watch out for more product placement in place of creativity.
