CBS announces it will simulcast the BET Awards; here are all the nominees

The 2020 award show will be broadcast live on June 28 on 10 Tampa Bay starting at 8 p.m. EDT.

For the first time ever, CBS will simulcast the BET Awards on its network stations. 

On Sunday, June 28, starting at 8 p.m. EDT here on 10 Tampa Bay, you can watch the BET Awards 2020. 

On Monday, CBS announced it would join BET as a broadcast partner to simulcast the award show this year. The announcement comes as protests across the country continue in light of the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

BET says this year's nominees "reflect an abundance of creative expression and black excellence across music, television, film, sports, and philanthropy."

Beyonce, who has four nominations, recently wrote an open letter to Kentucky's Attorney General demanding justice for Breonna Taylor.

Drake has the most nominations for this year's awards. He is nominated for six awards, including "Best Male Hip Hop Artist," "Video of the Year," and two nods for both "Best Collaboration" and "Viewer’s Choice" for his features alongside Chris Brown (No Guidance) and Future (Life Is Good).  

Newcomers Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch both have five nominations. Megan Thee Stallion nominations include "Best Female Hip Hop," "Best Collaboration," "Video of the Year," "Album of the Year,’ and "Viewer’s Choice Award." Roddy Ricch’s nominations include "Best Male Hip Hop," "Video of the Year," "Best New Artist," "Album of the Year," and "Viewer’s Choice Award."
