Welcome to a brand new Wkly Hit List, KlicKNettars. This “Every First and Third Friday Each Month” Deal has been a delight for me and the KlicKNet team, we hope it’ll really kick in the next few months. When the next new episode of FakeTV Box, we’ll be able to address what happened with our LIVE Fifth Anniversary of FakeTV Box on Labor Day. What we can address right now in this post is that we planned to do three midterm election episodes in October, which will leads up to a LIVE Election Special where hopefully nothing will go wrong. One thing that has never gone wrong for us has always been the 5-Day Rounder, you should see what we dug up for this week before you start your weekend plans.
Our Inside Scoop this week is a look back at 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards last Monday night on NBC. This “Every First and Third Friday Each Month” Deal had prevented me from making predictions on who would win, and it would have been fun to do so because I was confident that we could have guessed most, if not all of the winners, maybe we'll have that opportunity for next year. So with that in mind, here's a list of all 19 winners.
I'm little disappointed by a news story regarding the Primetime Emmys Awards, for last Monday's ceremony might have been the last time we see it on broadcast network because Amazon seems to be in talks with the Television Academy to stream the Emmys on Prime Video beginning next year in 2017. We have seen the Actors Awards (formerly known as SAG Awards) and the Academy of Country Music Awards move to streaming platforms like Netflix and even Prime Video, very soon the Oscars will be moving from ABC to YouTube beginning in 2029, it's amazing how KlicKNet's YouTube channel will have some major company in future. Who knows, we might see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade go on a five-year rotation between Peacock, Paramount Plus, Tubi, HBO Max, and Disney Plus. We have seen sports have a greater presence on streaming, for example: the WWE has a multi-year deal with Netflix to broadcast Monday Night Raw for over a decade, the NFL has chosen to stream exclusive games on Netflix, even the MLB Home Derby can be seen on Netflix, and let's not forget about Boxing on Netflix too, it's hard to believe that Stranger Things has some strange company in its household.
But like I said, I'm disappointed that the Emmys might be moving to streaming, it's just another sign that linear television is becoming less and less of what it use to back in the days when Netflix was just competing with Blockbuster over video rentals. What bothers me most is that most people are unable to afford streaming especially when the prices are twice as high as gas prices, when oh when is the Iran War going to end. Of course, those who are complaining about the prices for gas and streaming, should what they're charging for riding MTA buses and subways. Unless you have a job that pays you $100/hour, you're gonna have to find the Emmys on a free third-party website. You know when CBS and NBC were broadcasting them in their respective years, they simulcast them on Paramount Plus and Peacock respectively. It makes me wonder if it's not too late for Paramount Plus and Peacock try to get the streaming rights to Emmys before a deal with Amazon Prime Video is made official. Any way you slice, it's sad to see what yet another traditional event leave linear TV, and for all we know, the Belmont Stakes might be next, and I wanna keep watching horsies run around in a big circle every year on TV.
