Winter Olympics, FIFA World Cup Coverage Lead 2023 Sports Emmy Winners; ESPN, Fox Top Networks
NBCs coverage of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games and Foxs FIFA World Cup telecasts were the big winners Monday night at this years 44th annual Sports Emmy Awards, winning three Emmys each. ESPN, meanwhile, was the nights biggest winner among outlets, pulling 13 Emmys.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded this years Sports Emmys at a ceremony at Jazz at Lincoln Centers Frederick P. Rose Hall. Bryant Gumbel will receive the lifetime achievement award for his role in sports journalism.
The Sports Emmys took place even as the writers strike has led to the postponement of NATAS premiere Daytime Emmys telecast next month. While we gather together, other parts of our television community stand divided tonight, Adam Sharp, president CEO of NATAS said during the ceremony. Youll note most of the typically scripted elements of our ceremony have been pared back in acknowledgment of, and respect for, the WGA-represented writers out on strike.
Added Sharp: The dispute is difficult. The business challenges of the changing media landscape are like none weve seen before. And yet, the individual economics of making a career in our industry starting out in our industry can be impossible to square Between these two realities, the generation coming up needs our industry to sow a field of common ground, not scorched earth.
Winners were announced in 47 categories, including studio host, event analyst, live special and live series, as well as documentary, journalism, public service content and Esports categories.
Here are this years Sports Emmy winners (in bold):
