What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCNBC reports the Emmy Awards leave broadcast television in 2027. They will stream free, worldwide, exclusively on Prime Video under a six-year deal.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the Emmys are going to a streaming service. Good. I have never once found the Emmys on the first try anyway.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Times confirms the deal. Six years. Hank, television's biggest night of self-congratulation now needs a password and a free trial.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI assume the winners still thank their agents, their mothers, and the person who shares the account login.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSecond story, and graver.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Wall Street Journal says the U.S. has warned Moscow that withholding details of a Siberia lab death violates international health obligations.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat sounds like a strongly worded letter. Does Russia have to answer the letter? Or is it more of a vibe?

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, I have stood in Moscow press rooms. Disclosure there is a rumor everyone agrees not to repeat. I was asked to leave one. Politely.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnderstood. So the official position is we would like details, and the other official position is no.
