The Academy of Country Music’s annual “ACM Honors” special will air on the Fox network in September, putting the show back on a major broadcast network for the first time in four years. The return to a major network comes as, ironically, its parent show, the ACM Awards, made the switch from broadcast TV to being an exclusive Amazon Prime Video webcast this past spring.
“ACM Honors” will have its first airing on Fox Sept. 13 from 8-10 p.m. Et/Pt. The special last appeared on broadcast TV prime-time in 2017, when it aired on CBS. In the interim, the show had been seen on cable networks and livestreams, including CircleTV for the 2021 edition.
The special will air almost three weeks after the taping at its longtime home, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, on Aug. 24.
