Nashville, TN - Country music fans will have to wait a while longer to see their favorite country superstars on the small screen. CMT has announced it will move the telecast of the 2009 "CMT Music Awards" show from April to June.

Celebrity News Service has learned the 2009 "CMT Music Awards" will be broadcast live on CMT on June 17. The show honors the best country music videos of the year. Country's biggest superstars will be on-hand to celebrate at the annual award show and its live red carpet pre-show.

"We're always looking for a fresh approach to our Awards Show, and this year we've moved the telecast to June rather than April," says John Hamlin, executive producer and SVP of production and development, CMT.

Country music fans will be able to vote for their favorite videos on CMT.com, beginning Monday, April 13 when the first round of nominees is announced. Final nominees will be announced Tuesday, May 19.

"The June airdate for the 'CMT Music Awards' gives fans their first look at many of country music's biggest stars right before they hit the road for the summer concert season," Hamlin said.

The "CMT Music Awards" is country music's only fan voted award show, and last year fans cast a record 5 million votes online to determine the night's big winners.
