Variety, the sabbatical is likely to take place because the Billboard Music Awards are moving to November 19, which is typically when the American Music Awards are held.Parent company Dick Clark Productions may choose to move the awards to 2024, taking up the slot in May previously held by Billboard.Variety reports that multiple sources have said neither ceremony secured a broadcast partner and Dick Clark Productions had to choose which show to support.

American Music Awards will take a one year sabbatical, Variety has learned. Following news announcing that the Billboard Music Awards would be moving their date to Nov. 19, 2023, typically a Sunday held for the AMAs, it left parent company Dick Clark Productions no choice but to bump the AMAs to 2024, when it could take the May slot previously held by Billboard. Multiple sources say that neither has a broadcast partner and producer Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Corp. (parent company of Variety and Billboard) had to make the decision of which show to throw its weight behind. Since PMC owns Billboard, insiders suggest that the thinking was to promote its own brand. Chatter among music industry professionals is that the AMAs, which launched in 1973, was becoming stale.
