Ashley McBryde Helps Reveal 2022 CMA Broadcast Awards Winners
On Monday (Oct. 10), Ashley McBryde helped the Country Music Association reveal this year’s recipients of the 2022 CMA Broadcast Awards. McBryde surprised the radio stations and broadcast personalities with personal calls to tell them the news.
The awards are a precursor to the upcoming 2022 CMA Awards, slated to air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 9 , at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
On-air personalities who are CMA members in the United States and Canada and CMA member radio stations are eligible for CMA Broadcast Awards. However, winners are not eligible to enter the same category in back-to-back years, so 2021 winners were not eligible for 2022 awards.
McBryde herself is nominated for five honors leading into this year’s CMA Awards in November. (See the full list of 2022 CMA Awards nominations here.)
