Effective immediately all music video hours on CMT and CMT Music channels will have complete parity between male and female artists. That means 50\/50. #CMTEqualPlay<\/a><\/p>\n

Effective immediately, all music video hours on CMT and CMT Music channels will have complete parity between male and female artists. That means 50\/50. <\/p>\n

That was the message from CMT on Tuesday (Jan. 21) as their #CMTEqualPlay initiative was launched. <\/p>\n

So from now on, this means that female artists are guaranteed to account for half the videos played on CMT\u2019s platforms. That\u2019s an increase from the 40\/60 (female\/male) ratio previously used. (Now if we could just get country radio \u2014 where female singers account for only 13 percent of airplay \u2014 to follow our lead.)<\/p>\n

And the artists themselves? They are in full support. So far, so good. <\/p>\n

Annnnnnnd @CMT<\/a> gets to go down in country music history as leading this charge. \u270a c\u2019mon country radio cowgirl up! https:\/\/t.co\/Ifm6MjKWOe<\/a><\/p>\n

CMT is the blueprint for how to combat this issue. Absolutely incredible. Very excited to see the new up and coming artists who will continue to benefit from their commitment to exposure. https:\/\/t.co\/TBKY8eQLNu<\/a><\/p>\n
