The Country Music Association has announced the recipients of the 2021 CMA Broadcast Awards.
Country recording artist and two-time 2021 CMA Awards nominee Carly Pearce individually called radio stations and broadcast personalities to reveal the news.
The CMA Broadcast Personality of the Year category was split into two new categories this year—Weekly National and Daily National.
The categories are established by market size based on population as ranked by Nielsen. Additionally, entries for Broadcast Personality of the Year are judged on aircheck, ratings, community involvement and biographical information. Candidates for Radio Station of the Year are judged on aircheck, ratings, community involvement and format leadership.
CMA members who are full-time, on-air personalities and CMA member radio stations in the U.S. and Canada were eligible to submit entries, which are judged by a panel of distinguished broadcast professionals, representing all market sizes and regions.
The 55th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. CT on ABC.
