The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards has a new home: New Jersey.
The network announced Monday that its annual awards show will take place Aug. 26 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The VMAs are typically held in New York, though it has also taken place in Los Angeles, Miami and Las Vegas.
Last year's show took place at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
A pair of Saturday NFL games drew a larger viewing audience than college football for the rollout of the sport's 12-team playoff.
The playoff game between SMU and Penn State averaged 6.4 million viewers on TNT networks, compared with the Texans-Chiefs game on NBC, which averaged 15.5 million viewers.
Later, Clemson-Texas drew 8.6 million viewers on TNT, compared with 15.4 million for Steelers-Ravens on Fox.
ESPN, ABC and others aired the other two college games — Indiana-Notre Dame (13.4 million) on Friday night and Tennessee-Ohio State (14.3 million) on Saturday night. There were no competing NFL games.
The overall average of 10.6 million viewers was higher than all but four college games this season.
