"We are delighted with the number of Emmy nominations garnered by the shows on our M-Net channels," M-Net tells TV with Thinus.
"This confirms yet again that M-Net and its channels bring our viewers the best international television programming available. Congratulations to all the nominees as well - and thank you for keeping us entertained!"
While BBC Entertainment (DStv 120) can boast - as a TV channel seen in South Africa - Downton Abbey which scored some Emmy nominations today, it's M-Net which has the bulk of the latest Emmy nominated television shows.
From Scandal (shown on M-Net as The Fixer), Bates Motel, Breaking Bad, The Newsroom, Mad Men, Homeland, Game of Thrones, Nashville, Modern Family, Political Animals, The Big C, American Idol, Top Chef, Project Runway, Phil Spector, Shameless, The Simpsons, Glee, The Americans, House of Lies, Girls, The Big Bang Theory, Nurse Jackie, Veep, Parks and Recreation and Boardwalk Empire M-Net and its range of series and movie channels have by far the most to crow about when it comes to quality television.
All these shows received one or more Emmy nominations in various categories.
30 Rock and The Good Wife are on SABC3 and M-Net, Sony Entertainment Television and SABC3 have The Amazing Race, and SABC3 has The Voice which were all also nominated.
Comedy Central has The Colbert Report, South Park, Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show which all received nods today. National Geographic Channel has Killing Lincoln which was also nominated.
