The country music television channel CMT has pledged that the music videos played on their network will have 50/50 gender parity—meaning that men and women artists will get the exact same amount of screen time.
Effective immediately all music video hours on CMT and CMT Music channels will have complete parity between male and female artists. That means 50/50. #CMTEqualPlay

Many fans are praising the network’s decision, still energized by a recent segment of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee featuring Margo Price on the discrimination women face in the realm of country music.
