CABLEACE AWARD

The 'CableACE Award' (earlier known as the '''ACE Awards'''; ACE was an acronym for ''Award for Cable Excellence'') was an award that was given from 1978 to 1997 to honor excellence in American cable television programming. It was originally created to serve as a cable television counterpart to the Emmy Award, which did not recognize cable programming prior to the 1987-88 season. The CableACE awards were discontinued in 1997 when their organizers, the National Cable Television Association, decided that the Emmys were finally sufficiently recognizing cable television programming, thus making a separate awards show unnecessary.
At one time, the live awards show could be seen on as many as 12 channels simultaneously. However, in its last years, only one network showed the program, usually Lifetime or TBS.
