awards show MTV VMAs to air on CBS for the first time this year

[Hector]

CBS is set to present the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) for the first time this year. The three-hour broadcast will also simulcast on MTV, which launched the show in 1984. A one-hour live pre-show will air across Paramount Media Networks. This year's show is set to air live on Sunday, Sept. 7 starting at 8 p.m. ET, and streaming on Paramount+.

thank god for P+ too  idk why this wasn't done sooner, awards shows NEED to be able to be streamed easily. Now work on booking some actually interesting performers

This is GREAT news. We need it on a more revelent tv channel and to have it on a streaming service (prefered for it to be on Netflix or Prime instead of Paramout+ tbh but good either way). Maybe this will convince some bigger names to show up this year

[beyonceparkwood]

Now they gotta work on memorable performances and moments… not someone like Nicki or Megan hosting, no shade. Get rid of fan voting. Let's make it more prestigious again…

[Jay07]

But doesn't this mean there won't be any outrageous moments because they will have to abide by network standards?

[wish]

Good decision after the last few years tanked pretty hard. This year's VMAs will probably be the highest rated in like half a decade

[minajatropolis]

I hope they host it again in the NYC area. Last year felt like a dud, but seeing Shakira live - for free mind you - was too good.

Welcome to the present, MTV 

[Almodusa]

Oooh interesting! Should help them to be on network television

I think they still had to abide by some rules, most of the outrageous moments would still be air-able on network TV I believe. Like, the Madonna/Britney kiss was 'shocking' but lesbian kisses air on network TV no problem. Miley 2013 mess maybe would've been a bit much but who knows.

No need to worry since we haven't got a single interesting moment on vmas since 2013

Those days of a good outrageous moment have been over sadly

[JustHoran]

VMA's were always my favorite and now that I'll be able to stream on Paramount+ I WILL be watching! This is actually brilliant because it will bring in probably there best ratings in years. MTV is dead and cable is dying.

Gorll I loved the VMA's in their prime just as much as the rest of us faguettes but they were never prestigious lol

[ariesgroove]

seems like this is the move for most award shows nowadays which is smart since most people are streaming now

[Fleahive]

Another win for the Little Monsters… when ratings triple due to being on cable network and Gaga predictably winning out for Abracadabra and Die with a Smile they will spam "Gaga… ratings!"

 

You may have won this battle but you will NOT win the war.

The obssession 

At least you're aware Gaga will win hard

This would be opening week of the NFL season. CBS better have a game on the 4 PM ET/1 PM PT window everywhere in the country for this to work.

 

Otherwise, they will be going up against Sunday Night Football on NBC. 

[Diet Pepsi]

we want an Addison performance or we won't be watching  

[Ivan_brit]

Im ready!!!!  Even when the VMAS are not as good as the 2000s still end up as the best award show every year.
 

Someone book Tate McRae, The Weeknd & Miley Cyrus to perform!

 

 

 

Wondering who will get the VMA video Vanguard this year??  

 

let's see....

- Gaga has a show at MSG that same day so it wont be her

- Taylor Swift if she release Reputation TV this year

- Miley Cyrus releasing a visual album chances are big!

- Eminem & Xtina are the reamin 2000s MTV legends without Video Vanguard.

So MTV has just been left to rot as the Ridiculousness reruns and Teen Mom 6: Reborn Again channel?
