(Reuters) -Fox is expected to announce soon that television's
Emmys will be rescheduled to air in January next year due to strikes by
writers and actors in the United States, the Los Angeles Times reported
on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the plans. |

The
ceremony was originally slated to be telecast on Sept. 18, and
the LA Times reported the January date is contingent on a
resolution to disputes between the studios and guilds before
then.
Hollywood actors went on strike earlier this month after talks
with studios broke down, joining film and television writers who
have been on picket lines since May and deepening the disruption
of scores of shows and movies.
Nominations for the highest honors in television were announced
about two weeks ago just before the dual work stoppage was
declared. The strikes were expected to delay the Emmys ceremony
beyond its normal September date.
Variety reported earlier on Thursday that vendors for the Emmys
Awards had been informed of the imminent date change.
Fox declined to comment while the Television Academy did not
immediately respond to Reuters.
