The

AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS broadcast live on FOX from the MGM Grand
Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Fans logged on to www.theacas.com to cast votes in
support of their favorite country music artists. The awards include
traditional categories, as well as previously unrecognized areas of
the business such as touring, encompassing the entire spectrum of
country music and bestowing honors that no other awards show
has.
With three wins this year, plus six last year,
Underwood has earned the most ACA honors of any artist. Aldean's six
awards this year rank him as the male artist with the most honors,
and Lady Antebellum's win as Group of the Year, plus four awards
last year, make it the group with the most ACA
honors.
Cable channel Great American Country (GAC) will
rebroadcast the AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS on Saturday, Dec. 17 (10:00
