How to watch the 2019 Country Music Television Awards

ET

Some of the sweetest sounds in music will be on stage tonight as the 2019 Country Music Television Awards broadcast live from Nashville, Tennessee. This will be the 18th annual CMT Awards ceremony, though an awards show honoring the best in country music first began in 1967 with the Music City News Awards. 

This year, the musical group Little Big Town will be hosting for the second year in a row. Group members Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook will provide viewers with some star-power as the emcees.
