TORONTO – With “Music’s Biggest Night” just around the corner, Rogers Media announced that City has extended its current deal with the Grammy Awards to continue as the Canadian broadcaster for another three years.
Running through 2021, the extended agreement includes both the live awards ceremony and the annual Grammy telecast specials. City has also renewed its digital rights, giving Canadians a front-row seat to their favourite artists with live-streaming of both the Grammy Premiere Ceremony and awards broadcast, available online and on mobile, in addition to coverage across other Rogers Media outlets.
“Working in lockstep with the Recording Academy over the last five years, City has solidified its standing as the home of Music’s Biggest Night in Canada and continues to be appointment television for our viewers,” said Rogers Media’s SVP of television & broadcast operations, Colette Watson, in the news release. “We look forward to continuing to build on this partnership to deliver the innovative, multiplatform coverage that our viewers have come to expect from Rogers Media’s extensive suite of world-class news and entertainment brands.”
The 60th Annual Grammy Awards will broadcast live from Madison Square Garden in New York City – outside of Los Angeles for the first time since 2003 – on Sunday, January 28 with coverage starting at 6:30 PM ET on City. Late-night personality James Corden (The Late Late Show with James Corden) will return as host.
