Prime Video will be the home of the Academy of Country Music Awards for the next two years following the renewal of their deal.
The 59th ACM Awards is set for May at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas; Dick Clark Productions will again produce the shows. Additional details, including award submissions and voting timeline, hosts, nominees, performers, and ticket on-sale details, will be confirmed in the months ahead.
The 58th awards show garnered more than 7.7m viewers on Prime Video plus additional viewership across Amazon Music, the Amazon Music channel on Twitch. The 2022 ACM Awards was the first major awards show to exclusively stream live.
“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,” said Academy of Country Music CEO Damon Whiteside. “The May 2023 show was a groundbreaking success and illustrates that our pioneering and innovative 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 groundbreaking ACM Awards show.”
