Reba McEntire has hosted the ACM awards 14 times, including every show since 1999.  But, she is stepping aside according to Academy CEO Bob Romeo.  He says Reba plans to focus on her new TV show, Malibu Country.

Blake Shelton, who has cohosted the last two shows with Reba, will stay on board.  Romeo says that Blake has, "something big up his sleeve" regarding the show.  Blake is close to somebody in country music who might make a good host.
