The American Music Awards are expected to take a break in 2023 as the Billboard Music Awards move to the Sunday slot typically held for the AMAs. Neither awards show has secured a broadcast partner, but insiders suggest that parent company Dick Clark Productions may be promoting its own brand by throwing its weight behind the BBMAs. The ratings for the AMAs have been declining in recent years, while the BBMAs have retained their ratings. ABC, which has partnered with the AMAs, was unaware of the BBMAs change until it was announced publicly.

Networks have been rethinking their commitment to awards shows amid declining linear viewing, with NBC dropping the Billboard Music Awards and CBS dropping the ACM Awards. DCP is figuring out 2023 homes for the Billboard Music Awards, the Golden Globes, and now the AMAs.
