Grammy nominees to be announced Dec. 1

? The Grammy nominations will once again be unveiled in a prime-time special despite two years of low ratings.

The Recording Academy this week announced a Dec. 1 live broadcast of the nominations. It will be part of a concert special on CBS at 9 p.m. CST.

This will be the third year the nominations have been announced this way, after years of revealing them at a morning news conference. Each year they have performed poorly, despite top talent.

The Grammys will be aired live Feb. 13 on CBS from Los Angeles.
