The Daytime Emmys are coming soon to a computer screen near you.

The annual awards show will not air on a traditional TV network this year, TVLine has learned, and will instead stream live at watch.theemmys.tv and via The Emmys app. This marks the first time in six years the Daytime Emmys won’t air on TV, after wrapping up a five-year run on CBS.

Plus, Mario Lopez has been named the host of the 52nd annual ceremony, which takes place Friday, Oct. 17 in Pasadena, California. Lopez’s hosting gig is part of an extensive collaboration between the Daytime Emmys and Access Hollywood , with the syndicated entertainment news show set to feature five nights of dedicated Daytime Emmys segments leading up to the ceremony, along with a post-show red carpet recap on Monday, Oct. 20.
