CBS Loses Grammy Awards to ABC After 31 Year Run

This was coming for some time.

CBS has lost the Grammy Awards and all its specials to ABC after 31 years.

The 10 year deal begins in 2027.

Earlier this year CBS made a deal for the Grammys’ lesser rival, the American Music Awards. That certainly gave the Recording Academy reason to look elsewhere.

Now ABC will have the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s a smart move for the Disney owned network. It’s not so good for CBS. But no one asked us!
