"Survivor"'s prime time and now has the "reality/competition" category in the prime time Emmys.
And AFAIK, GSN is very close but is still not in one-half of U.S. TV homes (which I believe is either 56 or 57 million homes), which remains the major requirement for cable and syndicated programs. [/quote]
Oh, I know "Survivor" is prime time, but so is "Wheel of Fortune" in many markets, yet it is eligible for the daytime awards. [/quote]
Problem is that "Wheel of Fortune" is not classified as a primetime show--it is classified as syndicated...thus the distinction.
