leadership.
Three finalists are
selected for National Broadcast Personality of the Year. To be eligible for
National Broadcast Personality of the Year candidates must be syndicated,
short-form, hub voice-tracking, and satellite personalities heard in at least 3
markets with a minimum of 40 shows per year.
CMA members who are
full-time, on-air personalities and CMA member radio stations in the U.S. and
Canada were eligible to enter. The entries are judged by a panel of
distinguished broadcast professionals, representing all market sizes and
regions. An aggregate score of the first round of judging and the second round,
which is done by a different panel of judges, determines the winners. The
international accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP tabulates scoring by
the judges. CMA Broadcast Award winners are not eligible to enter in consecutive
years; therefore, those who received trophies in 2007 were not eligible in
2008.
Winners will be
notified in mid-October. The awards show is Nov. 12 in
Nashville.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke Bryan hosts songwriters' charity event Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Luke Bryan will head home to Georgia to host his first charity songwriter's event on Oct. 5. The event, in honor of his late brother and sister Chris Bryan and Kelly Bryan Cheshire, will benefit the Lee Branch YMCA of Leesburg, Ga. Since Chris' death, I've been waiting for the right charity event to do, and now with Kelly's passing, this event seemed like the perfect fit, said Bryan. It is something I can do that will honor them and, at the same time, benefit the people in my hometown which is what I know Chris and Kelly would have wanted. In addition to Bryan,
who has co-written the number one single Good Directions, his own top five All
My Friends Say and current hit Country Man, the songwriters who have volunteered
their time are Dallas Davidson (Put A Girl In It and Honky Tonk Badonkadonk),
Jim McCormick (We Rode In Trucks and Louisiana), Jason Matthews (Must Be Doin'
Something Right and Breakdown Here), Jeff Stevens (Carried Away and Back When),
and Philip White (I'm Movin' On and I'm A Survivor).
In addition to the
concert, there will be a silent auction with all proceeds going to the Lee
Branch YMCA. Dierks Bentley, Carrie Underwood, Rodney Atkins, Kenny Rogers,
Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry and others have contributed
items.
