NBC extends Emmy experience online
Cory Bergman August 27th, 2006
Log on to NBC.com during the Emmy Awards and you’ll see live a behind-the-scenes webcast and blog, as well as a synchronized trivia question game. The game is sponsored by Target, which is giving away $500 gift certificates at random. Writes Kevin Newcomb in ClickZ, “By providing a connection with the show and other viewers, NBC is hoping to shore up ratings on the awards show, which is seen by many critics as a network TV dinosaur that needs to be retooled to be relevant in today’s media environment.” If you play along, let us know how it went in comments…

And the Emmy goes to… well, I have no idea. The site is not Mac compatible. And as I write this, there is a Mac ad on the show.

Why isn’t this in HD?

Steve, according to a theory posted at tvpredictions, the stars got to E! and NBC and got them to not carry it in HD.
Shame on NBC for not airing this in HD.

Tried it. Found it kind of confusing. Clicked over to Fark and continued watching Emmys.
