What Is the CMA Awards?
The CMA Awards is more than just a night of glitz and glam - it's a celebration of country music and the history behind it. First held in 1967, the awards began as a banquet honoring the best in the genre. By 1968, they hit the airwaves, becoming the longest-running annual music awards show on network television.
Since 2006, ABC has served as the home of the CMA Awards, along with fan-favorite specials like "CMA Fest" and "CMA Country Christmas". Nominees and winners are selected by the Country Music Association's 6,000+ industry pros - a tradition rooted in the CMA's founding in 1958 as the first trade group for a specific music genre.
