Don't ratings take into account recordings and later viewings? Maybe some people will do that.

Yeah, their ratings are going to blow exponentially. Wow, that sucks. Yeahβ¦count me as among those who won't be watching the CMAs (at least not live). I'll be watching the World Series. There are very, VERY few things I would ever choose to watch instead of the 50th Annual CMAs, but a Game 7 featuring the Cubs is one of them. It's too bad that the CMA didn't plan for this. I know they set the date before the MLB set the dates for the World Series games, but the World Series dates aren't exactly something that can be moved. It starts when it starts, based on how long the NLCS and ALCS go. The CMA should have held the awards a little later this year (as in, the 2nd week of November).

Well nobody is going to be watching CMA's tomorrow. I'm sure I'll catch the highlights on youtube.

I need to see if this is the year that Carrie Underwood finally gets to win something. Major league Baseball's final game with historic resonance on the line. As for the Awards. here's my predictions: roughstock.com/news/2016/11/41035-2016-cma-awards-winner-predictions

I was looking for Roughstock's predictions but couldn't locate them for some reason; I'll add them to the post above.

Well, since I'm in sports radio...this decision isn't too hard for me, unfortunately.
World Series is going to get most of my time tomorrow night.

The CMA should have held the awards a little later this year (as in, the 2nd week of November). A lot of it had to do with the Election happening next week, I think. They always do it a week earlier when it's Election year it feels like. 2012 they had it on the 1st or 2nd, I remember that because they brought up Halloween costumes. I know they moved the Christmas special taping to work around artists who go back out on tour after the awards and that's happening the 8th, which is Election day. It have been nice to have the awards a little later but I just don't think it was doable with everything else they have around the awards - songwriter awards, awards themselves, radio stuff, the attached christmas special and everything - because it's a lot of moving parts to me just to move one thing. That's just me though.

I definitely think Carrie has the momentum/edge in the Entertainer category; my favorite category has always been Album of the Year and I really hope Eric takes that one home.

Haters are gonna blame Carrie for EOTY if the viewers are small, when we all know its because of the show's competition with World Series.

All the hype of the CMA's is built around old country legends coming back and singing old classics. The ratings will obviously be terrible thanks to the world series, but if they were low without the world series people would probably look to blame it on that, not on who wins an award at the very end of the night.

Kelsea Ballerini confirms that she's the second performer of the night after mentioning that the opening performance includes "a ton of legends." They're not screwing around when they say, "Don't miss the first 8 minutes of the show." Sounds like they might be doing some sort of 'Forever Country'-ish thing, though they did confirm that they're not recreating that entire song due to practicality.

I gotta be honest... I don't really care for Carrie's music and mostly her voice (not a tone I personally think is pretty or pleasant). Having said that, I've always felt like her fans are the ones that care the most about these country awards (or, at least, are the most vocal about it), and it's like the universe has been playing tricks on them for so long now that I honestly would be happy to see her winning at least something big tonight even though I'm a bigger fan of other nominees. It would definitely be a fun celebration with her fans in here lol

Dierks and Elle won 'Musical Event'. Aw man. I was really pulling for either "Think Of You" or especially "You Are My Sunshine". Good for Dierks Bentley getting an award this year. I am excited for tonight's show, I have a feeling Maren Morris and Carrie Underwood will win a lot of awards tonight.

Wide Open Country and Rolling Stone have perfect scores so far, I'll leave it at that. ;)

Dierks and Elle won 'Musical Event'. Wait what?! He won a legitimate-not-video-related award?! Oh, but no acceptance speech. Right. Please forgive the Dierks fan. She has a two day migraine, a threenager toddler, and is feeling ungodly snarky.

Not quite like an on-stage CMA moment, but he does have another CMA to his name, nonetheless.

Dierks and Elle won 'Musical Event'. Ugh, of course that reductive song won. I wish country music would at least move into the 1970s in terms of gender politics.

Diff for Girls is my least favorite song of the year. It's massively stereotypical and chauvinistic, so of course it won a country award.

I just came on here to post about this but I see it's already been talked about. The CMAs ran into bad timing. The fact that Game 7 of the World Series is tonight featuring the teams with the two longest World Series droughts in Major League Baseball will definitely hurt the ratings. Count me in as watching the World Series instead. I'll DVR the CMAs though and watch it sometime when I get a chance this week. As some of you know, me and my family are all from Chicagoland, so we've been waiting for this game essentially our whole lives. I know Brett Eldredge would agree with me on this one too. Go Cubbies!

I like "Different For Girls" so I have no problem with it winning... However, we all know who I really wanted to win ;) And I also don't really think that there could be anything else imaginable on television that would keep me from watching the awards; this year or any year. Rather than watching on television though, I like to attend them instead. So, yours truly will be representing from the 300 level of the Bridgestone Arena tonight. :)

I'll probably go back and forth between the 2. The CMA's will be done at 11pm EST, and most of the games this series have gone close to 4 hours. So especially if the game is close, it wont get done til at least Midnight (All hands on deck for pitchers, so expect a ton of pitching changes).
