Bobby Bones Talks About CMA Snub

Bobby Bones
Country radio host Bobby Bones took to Twitter on Wednesday to voice his displeasure at not being nominated for a CMA Award, according to The Tennessean.

Bones, whose syndicated program, “The Bobby Bones Show,” has attracted more than 3 million weekly listeners in more than 80 Clear Channel media markets, said he was the victim of refusing to play the political games necessary to garner a nomination. Bones was a Top 40 pop radio personality before last year when he moved to Nashville to launch his country show and began broadcasting from WSIX 97.9 FM The Big 98.


The nominees for CMA National Broadcast Media Personality are “The Big D and Bubba Show,” “Country Countdown USA” and “zMax Racing Country.”

“I somewhat expected it,” Bones told The Tennessean by email. “But I have to voice my displeasure. We’re the biggest morning show in the country, killing the other stations in Nashville. I have the biggest countdown show in the country and have changed the culture of country radio in a simple 18 months. So, it’s obviously political. I got beat by a NASCAR show.”


In February, Bones was the co-winner of the Academy of Country Music’s on-air personality of the year.
