The 2025 CMA Awards are just over a week away. Excitement is palpable across Nashville, especially among artists who are nominated for major categories such as Album of the Year, Male and Female Vocalist of the Year and Entertainer of the year. That same buzz of anticipation can be felt right here in the studio, as 98.5 KYGO is nominated for the CMA Major Market Radio Station of the Year. The academy has not yet revealed a list of presenters, but hopefully those folks take the time to rehearse in order to avoid another "Morgan Waylon" gaffe. The three leading ladies with the most nominations, Lainey Wilson, Ella Langley and Megan Moroney, are gearing up to rock the stage along with Luke Combs, Stephen Wilson Junior, Tucker Wetmore and Zach Top. Country music's biggest night, the 2025 CMA Awards, hosted by Lainey Wilson, will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on ABC as well as Hulu on demand November 19.
