Disney to Air Grammys and Produce Music Specials

Starting in 2027, the Grammy Awards will be broadcast on Disney platforms, including ABC, Hulu, and Disney+, under a new 10-year deal with the Recording Academy, ending CBS's 50-year tenure as the Grammys broadcaster. Disney's acquisition marks a significant shift, as it will host three major events in 2027: the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and the Oscars. The move is part of Disney's strategy to enhance its live event offerings, and Disney plans to produce additional music specials in collaboration with the Recording Academy. Despite declining viewership for award shows in general, Disney is committed to expanding its programming lineup. Meanwhile, CBS, while losing the Grammys, has shifted focus to sports and other franchises and secured the Golden Globes last year. The final Grammy broadcast on CBS will take place on February 2, 2025.
