2013 cma awards

Actors, singers, award nominees and TV personalities are among those scheduled to present awards at the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 6).

Now that they're in their sixth year of hosting the CMA Awards, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are used to the high pressure of live television -- and of course, that includes the all-important opening monologue.

It's almost here! Country music's biggest night is happening this Wednesday, November 6 as the Country Music Association hands out its annual awards in a three-hour ceremony live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Congratulations to Annette from Akron, who won our first CMA Awards flyaway! Annette and her guest will be heading off to Nashville for CMA week. Aside from being at the awards live, Annette will also visit the new Carrie Underwood 'Blown Away' exhibit and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum!

Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker and Jennifer Nettles will take the stage to honor Kenny Rogers after the country legend is presented with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2013 CMA Awards.

Taylor Swift has assembled an all-star "band" to join her when she performs at the 2013 CMA Awards on Nov. 6, and it's quite an impressive cast of musicians.

There's nothing like a good promo for the 2013 CMA Awards to get us psyched up for country music's biggest night! And hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley already have us laughing in a new promo commercial for the event.

Predicting who will win the nine major honors at the 2013 CMA Awards seems pretty easy ... until you begin to overthink it. Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton and Kacey Musgraves lead the way in number of nominations, but it's not far-fetched to imagine all three coming away empty-handed. This is the sort of stuff that happens when there's two months to mull over the possibilities.

Does the video tease Eric Church released to his fan club have anything to do with reports that he's planning to debut new music at the 2013 CMA Awards? For almost a year, the 'Springsteen' singer has been giving fans subtle updates on the progress of his new album, and now it seems possible a full revealing is just days away.

The CMA Awards are coming up fast, and the nominees are making their pitches for CMA member votes. I happen to be a member and am eligible to vote for the awards, so that means I'm on the receiving end of some pretty cool things.

Country 1065 WYRK is sending more fans to Nashville for country music’s biggest night, the 47th annual CMA Awards!!
