Academy of Country Music Postpones Las Vegas Awards Show Amid Virus

The show won't go on for the Academy of Country Music. The annual awards show was to be held April 5 in Las Vegas and televised on CBS but now is the latest entertainment event to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. The academy has postponed the award to September, at a date and venue to be determined later. Academy officials said Sunday that they tried hard to find a way to hold the event safely. But there's been a growing call by government officials across the country to halt events that draw a big crowd.
