ACM RENEWS DEAL WITH PRIME VIDEO
Prime Video will be home to the Academy of Country Music Awards for the next two years following the renewal of their deal.
Said Academy of Country Music CEO Damon Whiteside: “The Academy is proud to extend our relationship with Amazon for the next two years, through the historic milestone of the 60th ACM Awards, and continue to bring Country Music’s Party of the Year live to a global audience on Prime Video. The May 2023 show was a groundbreaking success, illustrating that our move to streaming was absolutely the right one at the right time. We’re eager to see everyone back in Texas once again at the home of the Dallas Cowboys next May for another ACM Awards show.”
The 2022 iteration was the first major such show to exclusively stream live. It garnered more than 7.7m viewers on Prime Video, plus additional eyeballs on Amazon Music and the Amazon Music Twitch channel.
The 59th ACM Awards will take place at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Dick Clark Productions will again produce.
