The 2025 CMT Awards Have Been Canceled

The 2025 CMT Awards show has been canceled by its parent company Paramount Global. They are merging with Skydance Media and the deal won’t be completed for another couple months.

It was announced that the 2025 CMT Awards have been canceled.  So that’s one less country music award show that will give Beyoncé awards.

Officially the show is on a “pause” . . . Because parent company, Paramount Global, has agreed to a merger with Skydance Media and the deal won’t close for another couple months.

But the CMT Awards show wasn’t the only one to get the ax this year . . . The MTV Europe Music Awards, and the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards Mexico have also been canceled. 

The company said they’re trying to reimagine what these award shows might look like in the future, and quote, “optimize its tentpole strategy.”  Translation:  These awards shows cost too much money and no one watches them.

The 2024 CMT Awards featured Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson winning the major prizes.  Jelly won Video of the Year for “Need a Favor” . . . and Lainey won Female Video of the Year for “Watermelon Moonshine”.

Kelsea Ballerini also announced during the 2024 CMT Awards that it was her last year hosting.  Maybe she knew something we didn’t.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
