The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation has launched EmmyTVLegends.org, a new web video portal offering free, public access to the Archive of American Television, the most comprehensive videotaped interview collection of its kind. It features revealing conversations with more than 600 influential figures [2000+ hours] that have shaped the television industry from its inception to present day, and includes little-known anecdotes, unique perspectives, and eyewitness accounts from top names in TV.
This ambitious, new website has been more than a decade in the making. Since 1996, the Archive has conducted in-depth interviews with television’s biggest
stars, industry legends, and crucial behind-the-scenes players who make television magic. In 2005, the Archive began to release the interviews online
to the public, but until now there was no easy way to search and navigate the footage.
