The CMA Awards unlike the Grammy Awards, People's Choice Awards, or American Music Awards are strictly for Country Music. As such, it's always a show I love to watch all the way through, knowing that there will be many great country performances, and I'll see lots of country stars on the show. Here is what you need to know about watching the Country Music Association Awards show.
