SEPTEMBER 20, 1998 PAGE 11 ABC closes gap on NBC at Emmys By Bob Tourtellotte Reuters OS ANGELES — For the second straight year NBC took home the most Emmy awards despite a strong showing by rival ABC, which claimed the most victories in Lmajor categories at the 50th annual Primetime I - i ' ™ Emmy Awards last Sunday. Led by its sitcoms, including “Frasier,” NBC grabbed 18 awards, including a host of honors in secondary categories handed out Saturday by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Emmys spotlight the networks. Sunday’s show, seen by 600 million viewers in 90 countries around the world, ended with ABC walking away with eight awards for a total of 16, giving it a strong boost heading into the fall television season. On Sunday, NBC won six awards; cable network HBO took six awards for a total of 14; and CBS won in four categories for a total of eight. ABC has struggled in TV ratings this year, gen erally placing second to NBC among adults 18 to 49, a key group to advertisers. ABC’s awards were led by “The Practice” — a drama series about a big-city law firm — which UPI has struggled to find an audience despite its criti cal success. Cast members of “The Practice’' show their outstanding drama series Emmys.
