The 2nd Emmy Awards, retroactively known as the 2nd Primetime Emmy Awards after the debut of the Daytime Emmy Awards, were presented at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on January 27, 1950. Like the 1st Primetime Emmy Awards, Emmys were primarily given out to Los Angeles-based TV shows and stations.
The Daytime Emmy Awards occurred before January 27, 1950.
The statement cannot be correct because on January 27, 1950 the awards were known as the "2nd Emmy Awards."  The name had not changed yet because the debut of the Daytime Emmy Awards had not yet occurred.
