Ceremonies generally are held in the fall, with the Emmys handed out in about 40 awards categories. Only two of these award categories honor local news programming, while the rest are for national programming. Most Emmys for local news and documentary programming are instead awarded during the Regional Emmys.
Before the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, news and documentary were categories at the Primetime Emmy Awards until 1975.
