Why were the EMMY AWARDS ceremony as early as August 16, in 2014?

INSIDER TV and Entertainment news at Website "Collider" dot-com: 

_____ _____ _____ Though it’s not the first time this has happened, 

the 66th Annual Emmy Awards will air a bit earlier than usual. 

 In order to avoid a conflict with NBC’s Sunday Night Football in September, 

the network will host the awards show August 16, 2014 8 p.m. Eastern / 

5 p.m. Pacific Time Zone. 

 NBC has done this twice before, in 2006 and in 2010. 

 Each of the other three networks – CBS, ABC and Fox – have kept the 

broadcast squarely in September since 2002. 

 Both the Emmy Awards and Sunday Night Football are major ratings draws, 

so it’s in NBC’s best interest to shift the broadcast a couple of weeks 

earlier to avoid competing against the network’s own programming.
