November or January? The TV Academy and Fox have been locked in a debate over when to air the Emmy Awards in the likely event they’ll have to postpone the ceremony.

anniversary. Instead, both the Academy and Fox have agreed that a postponement makes more sense — but the two sides differ on when they think the show should now take place. The Academy’s preferred November date reps a two-month shift that would keep the ceremony in the fall and make it the first major awards show to take place after the strikes have been settled and Hollywood is back to work.

This all assumes the Emmys would remain on a Sunday — but as many have noted, the show could really take place on any day of the week . And keep in mind nothing is set in stone yet, which means all options are still on the table. , there’s a precedence in moving the Emmys to November: In 2001, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks pushed the Emmy date, initial military action in Afghanistan pushed the telecast again, into November.

On the other hand, it would give Fox a chance to promote its midseason shows, and the Emmys might benefit from the promo attention it would get during those aforementioned NFL playoff games. It would also return the Emmys back to where it all began: The first three Emmy ceremonies all took place in January. The kudocast then started creeping into spring, and actually didn’t become a permanent September event until 1977.

Meanwhile, as the Primetime Emmys mull a move, don’t forget that the Daytime Emmys also has to figure out when and where it will air on CBS, having been postponed from its original June date.
