Dick Clark Productions, which produces the awards, and CBS have signed a five-year deal to continue airing the AMAs on the broadcast network, with a simultaneous stream on Paramount+. The deal comes after the 2025 awards, which aired in late May, averaged 4.86 million viewers - the highest total for the awards since 2019. The audience was up about 38 percent from its last telecast on ABC in 2022. Replays on other Paramount channels and delayed viewing brought the audience to more than 10 million. CBS and Dick Clark Productions first collaborated on the AMAs in 2024 for a special celebrating 50 years of the awards (though no awards were given out) that drew some 6 million viewers. The new deal will kick in with the 2026 awards and run through 2030. The agreement will also help soften the blow of CBS losing the Grammy Awards to Disney beginning in 2027. The Grammys are easily the most watched music awards show, but the AMAs have been a solid draw over the years as well. Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Corporation, The Hollywood Reporter's parent company, in a subsidiary joint venture between Penske Media and Eldridge.
