ABC’s most recent deal for the AMAs ended with the November telecast, and no decision has been made about a contract renewal.
ABC and Dick Clark Productions announced that the 2020 American Music Awards will return on Nov. 22, though it’s unclear in what format or whether an audience will be present. The show promises to feature marquee performances and celebrate the top artists across multiple genres.
