The nominees are based on “airplay on Uforia radio during the eligibility period (Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021), as well as on streaming and the assessment of a television committee consisting of Music and Entertainment experts.”
The 2022 Premio Lo Nuestro will air live from Miami’s FTX Arena with the “Noche de Estrellas” pre-show beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT via Univision. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, “production teams will follow strict guidelines and restrictions, in full compliance with the FTX Arena, local authorities and public health recommendations, to implement this year’s show safely,” the Spanish-language network said in a statement.
