Some of the coolest moments happened backstage.

I was excited when we announced Michael Ray for Countryfest for a couple reasons: He's incredibly talented, that voice and that face. So, can we just get to July 8th already?! At CMA fest in Nashville last weekend, Michael performed a brand new song that's going to be coming out on his new album.

On Feb. 16, 2010, Lambert earned a gold record.

Well, there is news that Justin has bought land and is building a home in Nashville, and now he has released "Drink You Away" to country radio!  It looks like he's laying down some country music roots! There have been rumors that Justin Timberlake was working on a country music album for quite some time, but now, I feel like those rumors could be true...

The 49th Annual CMA Awards will air live tonight at 8 on News10ABC!

The CMA Award nominations were announced yesterday and Miranda Lambert lead the nominees with a total of nine, including Entertainer of the Year, Best Female Vocalist, and Album of the Year for "Platinum." Dierks Bentley picked up five nominations, while Keith Urban and Eric Church each had four...

WGNA and Budweiser presented one lucky listener with a free trip to the CMA Awards at the Country Idol finale at Vapor in Saratoga Casino and Raceway on Thursday, June 12.

During his HBO program on Friday, Lefty Bill Maher said, “Now that liberals have forwarded their agenda by inserting a mass gay wedding into the Grammys, conservatives must match them tit-for-tat by having a mass shooting at the Country Music Awards...

WGNA's own Kevin Richards has been nominated as a Radio Personality of the Year by the Academy of Country Music (ACM)! Kevin has been on the air on WGNA for the past 19 years. He's no stranger to being honored by country music's biggest organizations though...

Ever since Eric Church debuted his new single 'The Outsiders' on the CMA awards, the song has created a buzz that's got several Country music fans speaking out.

Taylor Swift has been at the center of the 'what's country' and 'what's not country' debate for the last couple of years. Much like 90s hit-maker Shania Twain, Swift has managed to dominate both Country and Pop radio, but as of late it seems her success leans more towards the Pop genre.

Sometimes I don't understand award shows and what criteria they use for winning.  They gave Kenny Rogers an award last nite.  That's great and everything, but why did they wait this long?
