What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVariety says the Emmys are moving to Amazon's Prime Video in a six-year deal, believed to be worth around fifteen million dollars a year.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFifteen million a year to hand out shiny statues. Amazon is buying the world's fanciest bowling league, and I respect the hustle.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoes the show come in a box on the porch? I hope it comes with a free tote bag, like a county fair.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHonestly, I've never watched a single nominated show. I just clap when other people clap. Amazon's stock is up, so I'm clapping extra.
