PBS Leads in Emmy Nominations for Children's Programs
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/8/2007 6:10:00 AM
PBS received 18 Emmy nominations for outstanding children’s program--beating out Discovery Kids' which received 15 nods, according to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) which announced nominees Wednesday night. The venerable Sesame Street received five nominations.
In a slight change from the past, NATAS announced Emmy nominees for outstanding children’s programs now rather than when it announces other daytime nominees. This year, the daytime nominations will be announced on March 14. Despite announcing the nomination on different days, the kids awards will still be given out at the Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony June 14 in Los Angeles.
