The inaugural 2002 CMT Flameworthy Awards (now known as the CMT Music Awards) took place on Wednesday, June 12, 2002, from the Gaylord Entertainment Center (now known as Bridgestone Arena) in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and hosted by Kathy Najimy. The CMT Flameworthy Awards were a fan-voted awards show for country music videos and television performance.
The network, CMT, decided to rework their dated TNN/CMT Country Weekly Music Awards in to a new Award show, styled similarly to the MTV Video Music Awards. CMT asked fans to vote for what music videos they deem "Flameworthy" for the launch of country music's first ever video music awards. CMT stated "Flameworthy recognizes music videos' unique ability to make a lasting impact -- viewers hear it, see it, feel it, love it -- and it becomes flameworthy".[1]
