TheCableACE Award (earlier known as theACE Awards) is an award that was given by theNational Cable Television Association from 1978 to 1997 to honor excellence inAmerican cable television programming.[1][2][3][4] ACE is anacronym for "Award for Cable Excellence". The trophy itself is shaped as a glassspade, alluding to theAce of spades.

History

[edit]

The CableACE was created to serve as the cable industry's counterpart to broadcast television'sPrimetime Emmy Awards. Until the40th ceremony in 1988, the Emmys refused to honor cable programming. For much of its existence, the ceremony aired on asimulcast on as many as twelve cable networks in some years. The last few years found the ceremony awarded solely to one network, usuallyLifetime orTBS.

In 1992, the award's official name was changed from ACE to CableACE, agreeing to do so to reduce confusion with theAmerican Cinema Editors (ACE) society.

By 1997, the Emmys began to reach atipping point, where cable programming had grown to hold much more critical acclaim over broadcast programming, and met an even parity, a position that would only hold for a short time before cable programming began to dominate the categories of thePrimetime Emmys.

Few attended the national CableACE Awards ceremony in November 1997, and the CableACE show had a low 0.6 rating onTNT, compared with a 1.2 rating the year before, while the Emmys had a 13.5 rating that year. Smaller cable networks called for the CableACEs to be saved as their only real forum for recognition.[5]

In April 1998, members of the NCTA chose to end the CableACEs.[6]

Judging

[edit]

Professionals in the television industry were randomly selected to be judges. AUniversal City hotel would be selected, where several rooms would be rented for the day. Individual rooms would be designated for each award category. Judges were discouraged from leaving the rooms at any time during the day-long judging. There were usually eight to 12 judges for each category. Depending on the submissions being presented, facilitators would play anywhere from 10 minutes per show – to the entire show – for the judges' award consideration. Judges would mark their ballots privately and were told to not discuss their selections with other judges. The awards standard tallying by acertified public accounting firm was done to keep the results of the ballot secret until the time of the announcement of the award's winner.
