Background

edit

The network, CMT, decided to rework their dated TNN/CMT Country Weekly Music Awards in to a new Award show, styled similalary to the MTV Video Music Awards. CMT asked fans to vote for what music videos they deem "Flameworthy" for the launch of country music's first ever video music awards. CMT stated "Flameworthy recognizes music videos' unique ability to make a lasting impact -- viewers hear it, see it, feel it, love it -- and it becomes flameworthy".[1]
