“Goodbye Magic City, hello Big Apple!” That’s the message from organizers of the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
Miami hosted the event last year and the year before, but MTV said the 23rd annual VMA program will air live from Radio City Music Hall at 8 p.m., Aug. 31.
Last year’s event went on despite Hurricane Katrina hitting Miami Aug. 25, three days before the awards ceremony at the AmericanAirlines Arena.
Returning to New York brings the VMAs to the city for a 13th time and to Radio City Music Hall for a 10th time.
“New York City is our hometown and we are really looking to showcase the music, culture and people from every borough of this amazing city on TV, online, broadband and wireless to fans around the globe“, MTV President Christina Norman said.
The music television network has been based in New York City for the last 25 years.
