Reported Problem for The Tony Awards
posted by Fennec69STAFFMOD on July 1, 2019 at 6:57 AM
Item: The Tony Awards
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: More of a question... I looked at The Academy Awards page, and it lists the year as 1953, the year of the first broadcast. Shouldn't The Tony Awards be listed that way too? First broadcast was the 13th annual in April 1959.

Yes. The first season (season 1) should be the first televised ceremony. According to Wikipedia, the 1956 awards were also televised.

Yes, you are correct. From the official Tony's site: "television coverage began in 1956 when Du Mont’s Channel 5 telecast them locally for the first time."
