ABC will be broadcasting The 46th Annual CMA Awards live on Thursday, November 1 at 8pm ET, so says the Country Music Association. The awards show, which will take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, honors the best of Country music.

The nominees and winners are chosen by 11,000 CMA industry professional members, with the nominees announced in early September.

“The CMA Awards recognizes the best in the format – that’s what makes this ‘Country Music’s Biggest Night’,” stated Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “The CMA Awards is one of the most highly anticipated events for our industry each year. It’s a night to honor our finest performers, songwriters, record producers, musicians, and music video directors.”
