The 49th Annual CMA Awards will take place Wednesday, November 4, live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. The show will be broadcast live on the ABC Television Network from 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. ET. Returning as co-hosts for the eighth year in a row are country superstars Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley. (The latter ranked #13 on Forbes' 2015 Country Cash Kings list; Underwood, who took several months off this year to be with her 8-month-old son, finished just below the list's cutoff.) The hosts have garnered rave reviews from critics and fans alike in past years with their memorable monologues and original songs.
