So they made up fake producers/production people and entered their names to win production Emmy's and then when they won them they had the trophy reengraved and gave them to the on air personalities.

Truthfully, I'm kind of with ESPN on this one. The on air personalities are just as much a part of the team as producers and writers, so yeah, I think they deserve the award too.

Yeah, this is less of a scandal than the headline makes it out to be. The wins are legitimate, they just ran a scam to get extra trophies for the on-air personalities.

"In March 2023, Shelley Smith, who worked 26 years as an on-air reporter for ESPN, received a call from Stephanie Druley, then the network’s head of studio and event production. Druley said she wanted to talk about something “serious” that needed to stay between the two of them
