How CMT’s pledge to play more videos by women could (but probably won’t) influence country radio
“It has nothing to do with gender, one way or the other,” Brooks insists. “If an artist wants chart movement, I believe they should focus more on their art, rather than social issues.”
“The music industry in general, and the country genre specifically, are in need of greater diversity and gender balance when it comes to artist airplay,” says R.J. Curtis, executive director of Country Radio Seminar. “What Leslie and her team at CMT have done here is exemplary, deserves attention, and is consistent with the network’s past initiatives.
Male artists, like Radney Foster, are celebrating the pledge, too. “This is a wonderful development,” he says. “Lyrically and musically, women are making some of the most interesting country music out there, from Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde and Margo Price to Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris. Kudos to CMT.”
