The Daytime Emmy awards are getting the backhand from the very networks they honor. The 2016 awards show will not be televised.
National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences president Bob Mauro called it a "great disappointment."
"After months of negotiations to find show sponsorship," said Mauro, "the NATAS Executive Board has decided that the current climate for awards shows prohibits the possibility of a telecast this year."
The show will go on, however, on Sunday, May 1 at the the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in downtown Los Angeles.
