Variety reported that the return of the Daytime Emmys on Television was due that the Academy hoped to rebound in viewership after the previous year's internet-only ceremony, which also resulted in a high-volume of no-shows among the nominees.{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/daytime-emmys-hope-to-rebound-in-telecast-deal-with-pop-1201444123/|title=Daytime Emmys Hope to Rebound in Telecast Deal with Pop|date=March 2, 2015|publisher=Variety|access-date=March 5, 2015}} The awards ceremony was also moved up from its normal month in June to April to improve participation since many shows were still in production during that time. The Academy also choose to hold the ceremonies at the Warner Bros. Studios instead of a hotel ballroom like in previous years so participants "would feel [more] comfortable". They specifically picked Stage 16, where Casablanca and other famous films were produced.{{cite news|url=http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/03/02/pop-channel-bringing-daytime-emmys-back-to-tv/|title=Pop Channel Bringing Daytime Emmys Back To TV|agency=Associated Press|publisher=WCCO/CBS Minnesota|date=March 2, 2015|access-date=March 5, 2015|archive-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402142536/http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/03/02/pop-channel-bringing-daytime-emmys-back-to-tv/|url-status=dead}} It was later announced that the Lifetime Achievement Award would be presented to Betty White.{{cite web|url=http://emmyonline.com/day_42nd_lifetime_telecast|title=Actress, Comedian, Author, Humanitarian and Television Icon Betty White to receive Lifetime Achievement Award at the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy® Award|publisher=emmyonline.org and National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences|access-date=March 16, 2015|date=March 16, 2015|location=New York|archive-date=March 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317200304/http://emmyonline.com/day_42nd_lifetime_telecast|url-status=dead}}
