Will CBS air the online-only Tony Awards?

Variety

There are a lot of questions surrounding the Tony Awards' plan for a digital coronavirus-delayed ceremony this fall, including what date it will happen. Another question is will CBS broadcast the ceremony. "The official word from both the Tonys and from CBS? We don’t know yet," says Gordon Cox. "That uncertainty seems to hold behind the scenes, too. For the digital ceremony, CBS, the network that has broadcast the awards every year since 1978, seems like a stretch, although it might be more likely to show up on streamer CBS All Access. Regardless, there’s talk that once Broadway has a firm plan to get back up and running (currently anticipated for spring 2021), CBS would air a special celebrating the 2019-20 season’s winners in the hopes of giving those shows some version of an awards-season sales bump — and offering all of Broadway a boost in profile just as the industry gets going again."
