OTA DTV Drubbing Continues in SAG Awards
Two weeks ago we reported the dismal showing of over-the-air DTV programming in the Golden Globe Awards - only one award went to OTA DTV and that was to PBS, not a commercial broadcaster. In this week’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, at last a commercial network actually won an award! And OTA DTV broadcasters actually won 2 out of 8 award. Clearly a justification for keeping lots of spectrum for TV broadcasting.
Here are the Television winners:
Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
"Downton Abbey" - (PBS)
Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series
"Orange is the New Black" - (Netflix)
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series
