Don't they have their own network?

So, last night ABC decided to forgo their usual Wednesday night programming in favor of the Country Music Awards. Now, let me say, I do not care for country music, but I respect the artists and the hahrd work they do.

I don't know where you all live, but down here we have 2 country video stations. Shouldn't the CMA's be on one of those? Isn't that what they're for? To give an outlet for country music?

Hell, the hip-hip awards are confined to BET, with maybe a mention on MTV or VH1. I belive the metal/hard rock awards (the name escapes me at this monent) is on VH1, as well. Yet, the CMAs gets a spot on major network TV? WTF?!? This is not right.

Of course, my bitching about this on this meeger blog isn't going to do much, but at least I can get my feelings out there. I'm sure I'll be flipping through the channelslater and see said CMAs on one of those country stations becuse the 2 or 3 hrs it was on last night wasn't enough. Oh, and don't forget the endless fashion analysis on E! and the TV Guide network. Ugh! Make the pain stop!
