HISTORY OF THE EMMYS: The Emmy Awards were established in 1946 by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to honor top achievements in television, with the first ceremony held on January 26, 19449, to celebrate local Los Angeles programing. Academy of Television Arts & Sciences was founded by Syd Caassyd when TV was considered a threat to Motion Pictures. Emmy was created by L.A. pioneers to celebrate the fast growth of early TV and was named after the image-orthicon camera tube. It was changed to “Emmy” to sound more feminine for the winged statuette. Emmys went national in 21950s as TV broadcast spread across the United States. It was split into specialized ceremonies like the Daytime Emmys (started in 1974 and International Emmys.). Later it adapted to include cable networks in 1998 and later streaming platforms to stay relevant. The Emmy Award wings represent the muse of art, and the atom and its electrons the science and technology of the new medium. From 1954 through 197, the Emmys originated from both LA and NY. As production shifted to LA in the 1960s the emphasis of Emmy shifted as well. 1977 Both retained national status with the same name each group controlled specific award show. LA kept Primetime Emmys and LA chapter and NY retained Daytime News, Documentary, Sports as well as 19 chapters in &S who produced their own Emmy events. In late 80s Fox grabbed the show and in the 1980s North Hollywood became home of the organization. In 1991 the Television Academy moved into their new (present) home on Lankershim and Magnolia Boulevards. It has been my pleasure to cover stories on the Emmys over the years and visit the Television Academy headquarters in North Hollywood where the walls are filled with glory stories of the countless entertainment giants who have made up it's fantastic history. I am looking forward to this 78th Awards with great anticipation and never cease to be amazed by the new technologies and growth I am seeing! ≈≈≈ Look for news on fun Emmy Award Gifting Suites, the gifts, the celebrities and the fabulous Hosts!
