Hats off to the 29 ASCAP songwriters and composers whose work was shortlisted for the 46th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards!

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) honored ASCAP members with nominations in all five music categories, reflecting excellence in songwriting, composition, music direction, music supervision and live performances on the small screen.

Among the nominees are RC Cates and John Kavanaugh, who earned two nods apiece. And a special shout-out to ASCAP Board member Michelle Lewis, who received her second career Daytime Emmy nomination for her music from The Loud House.
