The 44th Annual CMA Awards will air on ABC live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m. EST.
“The CMA Awards is ‘Country Music’s Biggest Night’ and is one of the most highly anticipated events for our industry each year,” said Steve Moore, Chairman of the CMA Board of Directors. “It’s a night to recognize and honor our finest performers, songwriters, record producers, musicians and music video directors.”
According to Nielson, the 2009 CMA Awards came in No. 1 for the night in total viewers across all demographics, No. 3 for the week in the 18-49 demographic and No. 5 for the week in total viewers.
The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by the 6,000 professional members of the Country Music Association, the first trade organization to promote a particular genre of music in 1958.
The eligibility period for nomination in the 2010 CMA Awards is July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. All voting will be conducted online. The nominees will be determined through two rounds of voting before the final nominee list for each of the 12 categories is announced in September. Final voting ends on Nov. 2.
The first CMA Awards, called the “CMA Awards Banquet and Show” was held in 1967. The following year, the program was broadcast on NBC. It is the longest running, annual music awards program on television.
