CMT Music Awards’ Retrospective Special Set to Fill Gap While Annual Awards Show is Being ‘Reimagined’
CMT will air a 90-minute retrospective 'CMT Music Awards: Ultimate Party Edition,' on July 17. The annual awards show was put on hiatus this year.
The special features new sit-downs with Carrie Underwood, the top winner in the show’s history; past hosts Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town and Jason Aldean; as well as Blake Shelton, Cody Johnson, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan, looking back on their most memorable appearances on the show. “It’s been amazing to go back deep into our archives and re-live some of the show’s most iconic moments – and do it alongside the superstar artists that made them happen,” shared Margaret Comeaux, svp, production for CMT. The memo followed rounds of layoffs that began last year after Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy noted plans for the company to reduce its U.S.-based workforce by approximately 15%, including at CMT.
