CBS Wins With Country Music Awards

It was really funny for me to see that this was a headline, I guess we just don`t pay enough attention to the competition between networks. As a student of Communication, I feel like I should pay more attention to that, it was interesting to read this article, because it wasn’t really about the Country Music Awards, but how CBS got the best ratings that night, and how other networks just didn’t have good enough programs to keep their audiences.

When you read the article it talks a lot about what was showing on the other channels. Most of them had reruns, and no new episodes. ABC and Fox the runner-ups for bet ratings of the night had a bunch of repeats in their schedules. NBC had new episodes of its shows but for a while now it had been showing a pattern of declining ratings. The CW got the last spot that night and although had some new episodes on, apparently they were not that pleasing to the audience. I am now paying more close attention to what is going under the surface of television, what shows are on at the same time competing? Why are some shows earlier and others later? What ads are on the competing channels? There is a lot more to television then we think it does, it was nice to have an article about an award ceremony. It really wasn’t about the award show as it was for the ratings in each channel. But it is still nice to know that some people are watching it and giving it a boost into these ceremonies, because I just really like them.

Well since they were talking about the ceremony I made some research. The night belonged to the women. Amazing performances from the ladies, and some men and most of the girls were gulping all the awards of the night.



Carrie Underwood was on the media the next day for making a joke with Matthew McConaughey.



She later apologized and said she was truly embarrassed, it is one of my favorite things to listen to people`s speeches, their happiness and joy is just so real and powerful that it always makes me happy to see them winning the award. I didn’t watch this ceremony but now I wish I had.
