According to the CMA announcement of finalists, categories are determined by Nielsen market size and eligibility is open to full-time on-air personalities and stations in the U.S. and Canada; the finalists list names dozens of shows and stations across major, large, medium and small markets.
Billboard and the CMA said winners will be recognized at the CMA Awards Pre-Telecast Ceremony at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Nov. 18, ahead of the televised 60th Annual CMA Awards on ABC and Disney+.
