Country awards to leave Nashville

From the BBC (UK)
The Country Music Association Awards will be held in New York in 2005, the first time they have gone outside the country capital, Nashville, Tennessee.

The ceremony, the second most watched music awards on US TV, has been based in Nashville since it began in 1967.

But it will go to Madison Square Garden in New York for one year next November.

But Country Music Association executive director Ed Benson said the ceremony would return to Nashville in 2006.

That would be "the first of a multi-year commitment to be here", Mr Benson said in Nashville. "This is the home of the CMA."

The award show has traditionally been held in Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House, but will go to the Gaylord Entertainment Center in 2006.
