Amazon wins global rights to stream Emmys in six-year deal

Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, said the platform is honoured to serve as the "global home" for the ceremony, adding that streaming the show for free delivers " the best entertainment to our customers worldwide.

Amazon Prime Video has secured exclusive global rights to stream the Emmy Awards under a six-year deal, ending the ceremony's run on traditional US broadcast television.

Moving exclusively to Prime Video is significant for the Emmys, ending a rotation across the major legacy broadcast networks that has been in place since 1955 and marking the first time the gala will leave traditional broadcast television entirely.
