Grammys due at Staples Center
The 2006 Grammy Awards will return to Staples Center in Los Angeles for the third straight year, with the ceremonies scheduled for Feb. 8, the Recording Academy announced Wednesday.
It will be the seventh time in eight years the music industry’s highest honors will be presented in L.A., the only break having come in 2003, when the event was held in New York. The 2006 show, which will be televised on CBS, is being moved back to Wednesday night after three years as a Sunday event. The Sunday telecasts earned good ratings in 2003 and 2004, but this year’s January telecast registered a 28% drop from 2004.
The Grammy nominations will be announced on Dec. 7.
