The 4th Astra TV Awards, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, were due to take place on August 18, 2024, at the Avalon Hollywood in Hollywood. The ceremony, produced by DIGA Studios and Content.23 Media, was streamed live on the official Astra Awards YouTube channel and KNEKT Television Network. The nominations were announced on July 9, 2024.
On August 13, 2024, affected parties were quietly informed that the event was being temporarily shelved. A public announcement was eventually made on August 18, 2024, via The Astra Awards social media account on Twitter at 6:39 p.m. PDT (39 minutes after the event was due to begin live streaming), informing users that "due to a recent emergency, the Astra TV Awards have been postponed" and "a new date will be announced shortly". The postponement came weeks after a proposed partnership with GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics was scrapped days after being announced due to fierce objections from GALECA members.
On October 4, 2024, it was announced that the ceremony would occur on December 8, the same day as the 8th Astra Film Awards and the 3rd Astra Creative Arts Awards.
In terms of nominations, The Bear led with 15, followed by Hacks and Only Murders in the Building with 13 each; Abbott Elementary, Ghosts, and The Morning Show received 11 apiece. Channelwise, Netflix led the nominees with 66, followed by Apple TV+ with 44, ABC with 41 and CBS with 39.
The Astra Creative Arts TV Awards, which had its inaugural ceremony the previous year, was discontinued and reorganized into the main TV Awards. Additionally, three new categories were introduced: "Best Anime Series", "Best Children or Family Series", and "Best Saturday Night Live Host". In total, the Astra TV Awards had more than 50 categories across broadcast network, cable, and streaming.
