Streaming and cable contenders continue to dominate
By now, it’s no surprise: From the standpoint of numbers, Primetime Emmy nominees from the cable and streaming realms still have the edge.
However, programs such as “This Is Us,” “black-ish,” “Mom” and “Saturday Night Live” will keep broadcast television in the running as the medium’s top awards are handed out for the 70th time Monday, Sept. 17, on NBC. In fact, “SNL’s” Michael Che and Colin Jost will preside over the honors – but such non-broadcast titles as “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Americans” and “The Crown” appear destined to be heard a lot that night, too.
