More on the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards

In the new issue of TV Guide, ABC Daytime publicist Jori Petersen says, "At this time, neither ABC nor SOAPnet has plans to broadcast the event." The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is now offering the show to other networks and cable channels, and is proceeding as if all will be well. "We hope to know what's happening by December," says NATAS executive director Brent Stanton. "I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. I've got lots of people who want an answer."
