Broadcast TV Gets Shafted Again as HBO, Streaming Giants Steal Emmys Thunder

The broadcast networks continued to cede ground and the digital networks continued to gain it as the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Thursday.

The Big Four, PBS and the CW drew a combined 170 nominations, down from 184 the year prior. Digital, meanwhile, was the growth sector. Services such as Netflix, Yahoo, and LouisCK.net (yes, LouisCK.net) drew 54 nods, up from 39. Amazon, never nominated before, garnered 12 nominations–11 of them for the comedy “Transparent.”

Then there was cable, which, as usual, accounted for more than half of all nominations. For HBO, the news was as good as ever — 126 nominations, three times as many as the next best network, ABC, at 42.

Getting "shafted" would seem to suggest that something unfair was going on, when in reality the broadcast networks were simply beaten at their own game.
