Emmy Awards
originally aired on CBS
Emmy Awards are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the American and international television industry. Emmys are presented by three related, but separate, organizations: the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), the National Academy. The term "Emmy" derives from "Immy", the television industry slang for a TV camera image orthicon tube. The first Emmy ceremony took place on January 25, 1949, at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles.
