Congrats Mac!
Your many contributions to music are very much loved and appreciated!

Congratulations!

I do have to ask though, how does he win this award without any air time?

The gerneral public doesn't know his name. What qualifications are needed to win this award?

It's an award voted on by CMA peers and isn't song specific,
rather it is for a base of the work done during the previous year.
It is also instrument based (Mac is in for his guitar work).
