Can I Watch the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast?

More Events Like the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards
We mentioned the Grammys as music’s biggest award show of the year, but you don’t have to stop there, especially if you’re a die-hard music fan. Not even a week after the iHeartRadio Music Awards, country fans will want to watch the CMT Music Awards. The following weekend is Coachella, which is more of a festival than an award show – but you’ll still get to watch performances from your favorite artists. Toward the end of the year is the Billboard Music Awards, and while a date for this year hasn’t been confirmed, it’s another major music awards show you don’t want to miss.
