CMA Awards finalists will be announced during the 8:30 a.m. segment of “Good Morning America” on Monday on ABC (Comcast channel 10, EPBFI channel 9 in Chattanooga).

There’ll be no sleeping in for country singer Lauren Alaina on Labor Day, but the early wake-up call could be worth it.

The Rossville native will join Dustin Lynch and Brothers Osborne on “Good Morning America” Monday morning to announce the nominees for the 51st annual CMA Awards.

With any luck, Alaina could be in line for a nod from the Country Music Association. It doesn’t always happen, but the CMA has been known to choose artists to announce the finalists who will learn the news of their own nomination live on air.

“There’s definitely not a guarantee that these artists will get it,” says Melissa “Mo” Turner, half of WUSY-US101’s afternoon “Dex & Mo Show” with Bill “Dex” Poindexter. “But Lauren has the potential to be nominated in the CMA Best New Artist category and Best Female Vocalist.”
