Why the Grammys need to change, with CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

That was really the decision-making factor. I wanted to know what our options were and make sure that we were exploring all possibilities. I'm in this role temporarily for however long I'm here, but I'm really a fiduciary and a steward of the brand. I think it's an institution that needs to be protected. It's a not-for-profit. We're not doing this other than to serve music people.

So the idea was, how can we reach the best deal? How can we find the partner that most aligns with the future vision of the organization? So it was an opportunity to explore the market. I thought that only made sense.

Even with the 54-year history that we had with CBS, again, being great partners, I think anyone would say, if you have the opportunity to see what else is there, you should take a look and try and find that right alignment going forward.

I will say we had other options. Probably won't go too much deeper than that, just out of respect for our partners on both sides. But CBS has been amazing to work with. And I also really look forward to seeing what's going to come next in our new partnership.

Why the Grammys need to change, with CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

Well, you've nailed it. We have to have the right TV partner, not only for the, revenue, but also for the future of the brand and the health of the organization. And for the good of the music community, what we do is to try and lift music and music creators. And how can we do that in the widest possible scale is something that I'm always thinking about.

But as it relates to CBS and their streaming platform versus ABC Disney, I just have to say that CBS has been great. We're going to make two more shows with them. They had a lot of very, very positive aspects of why we've been with them and why we might have considered to go forward. But we also had to look at the future of consumption.

We have to look at the future of how people are going to absorb or take in our show. Where does it need to be seen? How does it need to be seen? These are all considerations that I've been having since I took this role four years ago. So Got a couple more great shows to go with CBS. Looking forward to February 2nd this year.
