 The Primetime Emmy Awards generally air in mid-September, on the Sunday before the official start of the fall television season.They are currently seen in rotation among the four major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC).The ceremony is typically moved to late-August if it is broadcast by NBC (such as in 2006, 2010, and 2014), so that it does not conflict with NBC's commitment to broadcasting Sunday-night NFL games (due to another conflict, this time with the MTV Video Music Awards, the 2014 ceremony was also shifted to a Monday).
