In country music, the more issues like parity for female artists and people of color get talked about, the more they stay the same, it often seems. But for the better part of a decade, Leslie Fram, CMT\\u2019s senior VP of music & talent, has been pretty much the first name you hear when you hear about execs who are making a difference. That\\u2019s been within the network, with the Next Women of Country initiative and an Equal Play pledge to program at least 50% female artists, and outside it, with some extracurricular diversity programs she\\u2019s co-founded. Fram joins us to talk about those issues and also discuss subjects like \\u201cThe CMT Awards\\u201d moving upstairs to CBS, and Pluto TV and Paramount Plus allowing for more of the music programming that doesn\\u2019t always have a big place on CMT itself.
