2010 NATIONAL ON AIR PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR

ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS

Broadcast on radio stations across America, CMT Radio Live with Cody Alan originates from Nashville and is CMT’s premiere country music and entertainment radio show. Cody’s wit, energy and charm shine with big star guests and live interaction with listeners. Landing major interviews with Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift and more, Cody asks the right balance of questions, including the untypical. Country artist Dierks Bentley says, “Cody’s show always feels fresh and current. Cody cares about country music’s past and future, and has always worked to make his shows exciting, interesting and personal.”

On CMT, Cody hosts #1 Music and a Movie, where viewers get an inside peek at the week’s #1’s in music and movies!  In 2009, Cody also hosted CMT’s CMA Awards Special, announcing the nominees on live TV.  Cody is a regular columnist in Country Weekly magazine, and was recently the official voice of the CMT Music Awards. Catch Cody bringing  fans all the Awards show action, from the red carpet to backstage and beyond!

Cody is a respected veteran personality, producer and programmer in the broadcast industry. After gigs in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Cody made it to the major leagues at age 23 when he landed in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Along the way, Cody has received numerous national awards including DJ of the Year from Country Radio Broadcasters, and named the 2010 National On Air Personality of the Year by the Academy of Country Music. Nominated for Radio Music Awards Air Personality of the Year, Cody has been honored at the Grand Ole Opry, featured in USA Today and GQ Magazine. As well, Cody was named Radio and Records Music Director of the Year five times, while Billboard magazine and the Radio Music Awards honored him with the annual title as well.
