73rd PrimeTime Emmy Awards: Red carpet coverage on E! and awards ceremony coming to M-Net with Cedric the Entertainer as the host.


by Thinus Ferreira

America's 73rd annual PrimeTime Emmy Awards with Cedric the Entertainer as the host, will once again be broadcast live across Africa as a simulcast with the CBS network in the United States, with M-Net (DStv 101) that will show it from 02:00 on Monday morning 20 September, with a repeat in primetime on the same day from 21:30.

E! (DStv 124) is once again doing red carpet coverage, with E! Live from the Red Carpet: The 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards that will start at exactly midnight on Sunday and carry on until 02:00 on Monday morning when the Emmys ceremony starts.

There is a rebroadcast of E!'s red carpet coverage on Monday night at 21:00.

The 73rd primetime Emmy Awards is returning as a live-show ceremony, with a limited audience of nominees and their guests.

It's set to take place party indoors and party outdoors on the Event Deck at LA Live in Los Angeles - very close to the Emmys' usual home of the Microsoft Theatre and where it would have been this year as well if it wasn't for the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in Hollywood.

The broadcast is executive produced by Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart.
