2025's CMA Awards announce date for event at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena
The Country Music Association and broadcast partner ABC have announced the date that the 59th CMA Awards will occur at Lower Broadway's Bridgestone Arena.
"Country Music's Biggest Night" will return to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 19, airing live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.n. CT.
Details on the show's host and ticket on-sale will be shared in the coming weeks. The ceremony will also be available to stream on Hulu the next day.
As previously announced, the eligibility period for the 2025 CMA Awards is July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
"The CMA Awards celebrate excellence in Country Music across 12 categories, honoring artists, musicians, songwriters, producers, mix engineers, and music video directors who significantly impacted the genre during the eligibility period," notes the CMA in a press statement.
2024's awards honored multi-platinum-selling pop-crossover country superstar Morgan Wallen as Entertainer of the Year, while Lainey Wilson won for Female Vocalist of the Year, Chris Stapleton won for Male Vocalist of the Year and Cody Johnson won Album of the Year for "Leather."
During the 2025 CMA Awards voting cycle, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen have been the most dominant as far as chart-topping performers are concerned. Jelly Roll and Wallen are essentially in a dead-heat tie for weeks on top of Billboard's country radio charts over the past year. Insofar as sales, the pop dominance of Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" has extended into 2025, as for more than 80 percent of the 2025 CMA Awards voting cycle to date, he's had Billboard's highest-selling country song.
Insofar as female artists to watch for 2025's CMA Awards, it's chart toppers Ella Langley and Jessie Murph — a pair of Alabama-born breakouts — whose surging acclaim will likely be highlighted.

TV Ratings: ‘Squid Game' Rules, But Broadcast Series Make Strong Showing in Multiplatform Rankings
With streaming now the platform of choice for the largest share of TV viewers in the U.S., it would seem logical that a streaming show would top the ratings rather than a traditional network show. As it turns out, that's correct: Netflix's Squid Game is, by a sizable margin, the most-watched series of the 2024-25 season. But in Nielsen's multiplatform ratings, which measure viewing over five weeks and across all outlets, a number of broadcast series are still commanding large audiences. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Squid Game' Final Season Trailer Restarts the Games After Failed Rebellion Streaming Ratings: 'White Lotus' Hits No. 1 Ahead of Season 3 Finale Streaming Is Now Just As Crowded With Ads As Old School TV Of the top 20 shows through March 15 (the most recent date for which the 35-day ratings are complete), eight originate on broadcast networks — six from CBS and two from ABC. All of them average at least 11.5 million viewers per episode across their network showings and streaming over five weeks. CBS' Tracker is the top network show and fourth overall with 17.6 million viewers via CBS and Paramount+. Squid Game, whose second season premiered in late December, racked up 27.1 million viewers in the 35-day window. Netflix's Adolescence (19 million) and Prime Video's Reacher (18.1 million) rank second and third, and two other network series, first-year breakouts Matlock (CBS) and High Potential (ABC), are tied for fifth overall at 16.1 million viewers. This season is the first in which Nielsen has released multiplatform data showing how outlets compare. In the broadcast landscape alone, CBS leads the pack (as it does in linear ratings) with 9.1 million viewers in primetime. NBC is second at 7.2 million viewers, followed by ABC (6.9 million) and Fox (4.3 million). ABC has the biggest gain from Nielsen's linear ratings (which are measured over seven days), rising by 61 percent with streaming and the longer window. CBS improves by 59 percent with the longer multiplatform measure, while NBC grows by 41 percent and Fox, whose shows stream on Hulu but which doesn't have its own platform, adds 12 percent. The top 20 shows (including ties) for all platforms and just on broadcast in Nielsen's 35-day multiplatform ratings are below. Sports and specials are excluded.

Zach Braff Joins ‘Scrubs' Reboot in Development at ABC
Zach Braff may soon be scrubbing back in at Sacred Heart. The actor is on board to reprise the role of J.D. in a reboot of 'Scrubs' being developed at ABC. The reboot was first reported to be in early development in December, with original series creator Bill Lawrence serving as executive producer but not showrunner. More from Variety Disney's Upfront Went Hard on Sports - With an Off-Key Manning Brothers Musical - but Hardly Mentioned ABC Jimmy Kimmel Takes On Bob Iger, Netflix and Gen Z's YouTube Habits in Upfronts Monologue: 'When You Have Kids, You'll Come Crawling Back to Disney Like Dogs!" ABC Unveils Fall 2025 Schedule: '9-1-1: Nashville' Joins Its Mothership on Thursday; 'Shark Tank' Moves to Wednesday As 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' Takes Its Place Lawrence, Braff and other 'Scrubs' alum have discussed the idea of a reboot for years, but it couldn't go into motion until after negotiations between Disney, which owns the IP, and Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence has an overall deal. While working on 'Scrubs' at Disney-owned 20th Television, Lawrence remains under his deal at WBTV, where he produces the Apple TV+ comedy series 'Shrinking,' 'Ted Lasso' and 'Bad Monkey.' 'Scrubs' premiered in 2001 on NBC, which aired the series for seven seasons before cancelling it. It was then renewed by ABC for an eighth season, which was intended to end the series, though the network later greenlit a ninth season subtitled 'Scrubs: Med School' in which only John C. McGinley and Donald Faison stayed on as series regulars. Braff appeared in six out of 13 episodes. Alongside Braff as J.D. aka John Dorian, the original cast of 'Scrubs' included McGinley as Perry Cox, Faison as Chris Turk, Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Ken Jenkins as Bob Kelso and Neil Flynn as the janitor. The series was a single-camera sitcom set at Sacred Heart Hospital and narrated by J.D. as he and his friends advanced in their medical careers. Braff is the only cast member currently confirmed to be attached to the reboot. He previously spoke about his enthusiasm to join a 'Scrubs' reboot in a Variety interview about the 20th anniversary of his film 'Garden State': 'The idea of getting back together with my friends and doing like 10 or 12 episodes of maybe one or two seasons, and just laughing with everyone? That sounds like a dream,' he said.
