Philo Scores Exclusive Streaming Rights for Reality Awards

Philo will be the exclusive streaming home for the Page Six "Virtual Reali-Tea Awards," an event dedicated to reality television. The ceremony is scheduled to film on October 6th at New York's Edison Ballroom. Viewers can catch the premiere on Philo starting October 9th. Unlike previous years, this year's awards show will be available to stream for free, accessible to all audiences without the need for a subscription. The event is expected to feature appearances from well-known reality personalities. Specific attendees include Countess Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Cooke, Layla Taylor, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. De Lesseps, along with former Real Housewives of New York castmates Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, and Kelly Bensimon, will receive the Golden Kettle Lifetime Achievement Award. Musical performances are also slated, featuring de Lesseps, Ashley Darby, Scheana Shay, and Drew Sidora. Categories for the awards include Quote of the Year, "Hot-Tea of the Year," Best Reunion Performance, and Best Return to Screen. Philo is sponsoring the Best Cast category, with nominees including Jersey Shore Family Reunion, Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Traitors, and Love Thy Nader. The awards show is a spin-off of Page Six's popular podcast of the same name and will be hosted and executive produced by podcast hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real. This initiative represents Philo's growing investment in original programming.
