GAC's Live "Orange Carpet" Telecast Caps Special Coverage Devoted to 42nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 27, 2007 -- Great American Country network, where country music lives all the time, will once again be live on the "Orange Carpet" to catch the brightest stars of country music as they arrive for the 42nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. GAC's live 2007 ACM Pre-Awards Special begins May 15 at 7 p.m. ET outside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
GAC's 2007 ACM Pre-Awards Special will be the No. 1 place for fans to see their favorite country music artists and get the most up-to-date information as the artists stop by to chat with GAC hosts Suzanne Alexander, Nan Kelley and Storme Warren.
"GAC delivers a connection to the stars," said Sarah Trahern, senior vice president of programming for GAC. "The annual ACM Awards gala is country music's party of the year. It is only natural that GAC will be there to bring it home to the fans who cannot attend."
This marks the second consecutive year that GAC will host the LIVE pre-awards telecast that will feature country music's biggest stars and show viewers what their favorite performers are wearing, what they're thinking and how they're feeling as they arrive for the ACM Awards, which airs live on CBS that evening. GAC will be the only television network to provide live pre-show coverage.
GAC's live 2007 ACM Pre-Awards Special is the centerpiece of the network's coverage leading up to the ACM Awards presentation. (All times ET)
