Inside The CMA Awards

Inside The CMA Awards! This awards show will be so much fun with Luke Bryan and Payton Manning hosting. Next Wednesday, November 9th, is the date of the show. Airing locally here on WJBF Newschannel 6 at 8 pm.  Once again, this year, it will be at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. The CMA Awards is always a great night.

It's even more special for KICKS listeners and staff as we will receive our 3rd CMA for Country Station of the Year. What an honor and we couldn't have done it without you!

This year’s performer lineup includes , Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, HARDY, Marcus King, Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, and Zac Brown Band. This year’s show will be co-hosted by two-time CMA entertainer of the year winner Bryan, and NFL star Peyton Manning.

Inside The CMA Awards, the ABC broadcast will open with a tribute to the late singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. Bryan will perform his new single “Country On,” while current five-time nominee Carly Pearce will perform a song from her recent album 29: Written in Stone.

We'll make sure we take lots of pictures and videos of the event and post them for you on KICKS 99.com and our app.
