On Wednesday, September 5, Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum will be in New York City to announce the final nominees for the 46th Annual CMA Awards. They will make the first part of the announcement live during Good Morning America, and then head over to the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square to reveal the remaining finalists.

The segment will air between 8:30 – 9:00 am (ET), and they will arrive at the Hard Rock Cafe around 9:15 am.

Lee Brice will be in Nashville at CMA to announce the finalists for the 2012 CMA Broadcast Award Personality and Radio Station of the Year in four categories (small, medium, large, and major markets), as well as the finalists for the CMA National Broadcast Personality of the Year at 8:15 am (CT).

“The CMA Awards are ‘Country Music’s Biggest Night™,’ and it’s something that all of us look forward to all year. From the day the nominations are announced up until the show, there’s a lot of build-up and anticipation for the Awards and also for the performances,” explained Aldean via the press release. “I feel honored to be able to help make the nominations announcement on ‘Good Morning America,’ and hopefully I’ll get to read some of my friends’ names that morning.”

“I’ll never forget our first CMA nomination and what that felt like,” added Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley. “The CMAs have been really good to us the last few years, and it’s still unbelievable to me when I see our name on a list of nominees. That night is always such a blast because it’s your chance to catch up with everyone and celebrate Country Music and all the hard work put in throughout the year.”

“This is the Year of Country Radio and we are very excited to include our membership in the announcement of the nominees as we recognize the outstanding achievements of these radio professionals and stations,” said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer.

“It’s been a great year for me at Country radio,” commented Brice. “I’m proud to be able to honor those stations that have done so much for me this year by announcing the finalists for the CMA Broadcast Awards live from Nashville.”

The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by the 11,000 industry professional members of CMA. The third and final ballot will be emailed to CMA members Oct. 4. Voting for the CMA Awards final ballot ends at 5:00 PM/CT, Oct. 22.

The 46th CMA Awards will be hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, and be broadcast live on November 1, 2012.
