NBC first broadcast the Primetime Emmy Awards in August, rather than its traditional September, in 2006, due to the scheduling of the network's popular NFL Football franchise Sunday nights in September. That August 2006 telecast was the highest-rated entertainment program of that summer and still ranks as the highest-rated Emmy Awards show of the past four years.
