NBC Moves 2010 Primetime Emmys to Earlier Date B&C

In order to avoid any conflicts with its NFL Sunday Night Football regular season schedule, which kicks off in September, NBC is moving the telecast of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards to Sunday, Aug. 29, 2010,  reports B&C.

The Emmycast was originally scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20.

NBC did the same thing in 2006, slotting the Emmys for Aug. 27 instead of usual mid-to-late September date.
