Warner Bros. Records Artist James Otto is set to announce the nominations for the 2008 CMA Awards, live from Nashville on Sept. 10, in a special edition of CMT's "CMT Insider." James will make the announcement with Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum. Flatts and Swift will make a portion of the announcements on "Good Morning America" prior to additional nominees being announced by Otto and Lady Antebellum on "CMT Insider."

"This is Country Music's Biggest Night -- what an honor to be asked to participate in announcing the CMA Award nominations," says Otto. "I don't think there is a Country artist out there, including myself, who hasn't dreamed of winning a CMA Award. To be asked to announce the nominee's names that morning with Lady Antebellum is a moment I will always remember."

"The 42nd Annual CMA Awards" will be broadcast live from the Sommet Center in Nashville Wednesday, Nov. 12 (8:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT) on ABC.
