The Week 13 Arizona Cardinals vs. Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday December 6, 2009 will be played at 8:20pm ET on NBC and the Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots game that day will move to 1pm ET on CBS, the NFL announced yesterday. The Miami Dolphins game will be shown in the South Florida market on WFOR-TV (Channel 4) in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, WINK-TV (Channel 11) in Ft. Myers and WPEC-TV (Channel 12) in West Palm Beach.

"All of our feedback has shown that our fans prefer night games early in the season and afternoon games later in the year," said Miami Dolphins Chief Executive Officer Mike Dee. "We were able to get two home prime-time games in September and October this season that were well-received by our fans, and we are working with the league to secure early season prime time games again next year. While we would have liked the national exposure by playing the Patriots on Sunday night, we know our fans will enjoy attending the 1pm game in what should be ideal weather conditions."

Lee Ann Womack joins George Strait & Reba McEntire on their 2010 Tour!

George Strait has added Lee Ann Womack to the roster of performers for his upcoming headlining 2010 tour in support of his latest album, "Twang."

As posted before, the trek, which also features Reba McEntire, kicks off January 26, 2010 in Baltimore. Dates are currently set through an April 10 performance in Des Moines, IA, with stops in 18 cities along the way.

"We're talking classic country from the source," said Womack in a press statement. "I can't imagine a better tour to be on than George Strait and Reba McEntire -- and now I'm not imagining!" "I'm trying to figure out what to wear," she added, "cause you can't out-starch George and you sure can't out-spangle Reba!"

"Twang," Strait's 26th studio album, surfaced in August 2009 and took over the No. 1 spots on The Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart. The new collection follows last year's platinum-selling "Troubadour," which earned a Grammy for Best Country Album earlier this year.

McEntire, meanwhile, will hit the road in support of "Keep On Loving You," her most recent studio effort, which also hit shelves in August 2009. The album marked her first solo set to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200.

Last month (October 2009), Womack released a new single, "There Is a God," the lead-off to the singer's still-untitled and forthcoming seventh studio album, which is scheduled for release early next year. The track debuted at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

George Strait, Reba McEntire & Lee Ann Womack bring their tour to the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida on Friday February 26, 2010.

Michael Buble' brings his 2010 CRAZY LOVE Tour to South Florida!

Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bublé is dominating the U.S. charts with his album "Crazy Love," and now he has plans to take that madness on the road.

The jazz vocalist's 20-date national jaunt kicks off with a March 10, 2010 concert in Orlando, FL, and ends a month later with an April 9, 2010 performance in Los Angeles, CA. The tour includes stops on March 14 in Atlanta, GA; March 20 in New York, NY; March 27 in Chicago, IL; and April 3 in Seattle, WA. Venue details have not yet been released for the coast-to-coast outing.

The spring concerts kick off Bublé's international CRAZY LOVE Tour, which will continue through 2011 according to published reports. Nearly 20 additional concerts have already been announced for May 2010 in the UK and Europe, and further North American performances will be revealed early in the New Year.

Bublé has enjoyed a growing hold in the music industry since his 2003 debut, both in terms of album and ticket sales. His early October release "Crazy Love" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with only three days of sales under its belt, kicking the latest KISS album down to a surprising No. 2 debut on the chart.

The jazz vocalist has also been the king of ticket sales on his past North American tours. Bublé's popularity as a live entertainer landed him in the Top 10 Concert Events on TicketNews' exclusive events rankings over the course of several weeks in late 2007 and early 2008, and again in September 2008.

These appearances in the rankings coincided with public onsales for a lengthy 2008 U.S. tour. The first leg of the North American run began in January 2008 and continued through the end of May 2008. Bublé's fall reappearance in TicketNews' event rankings followed the announcement of another dozen U.S. dates in October 2008.

Michael Buble will be bringing his CRAZY LOVE Tour on Friday March 12, 2010 to a 'still-to-be-announced' Fort Lauderdale, Florida venue.

LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical Hits South Florida!

LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods (played by Becky Gulsvig in the current US tour), an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law.

Phish Returns to Miami for a 4-Night New Year's Eve Run!

Fresh off their triumphant three-night stand at Indio, California’s FESTIVAL 8, the reunited Phish have announced plans to play their first New Year’s Eve concert since 2003 when they take over Miami’s American Airlines Arena for a four-night residency December 28th thru the 31st.

The New Year’s Eve show will be a three-set extravaganza at the same Miami arena where Phish and their Phans last rung in the New Year together six years ago. Phish also celebrated the dawn of the new millennium in the Sunshine State with a festival in Big Cypress, Florida on December 30th and 31st, 1999.

While Phish had a stint in the '90s as the de facto Madison Square Garden house band for New Year's, they began to favor Southern Florida in the 2000s, beginning with the largest "new millennium" concert in the world on December 31, 1999. Phish famously played one long eight-hour set from midnight until dawn on New Year's Day in an open field at the Big Cypress Indian Reservation in the Everglades along Florida's Alligator Alley. The band has often claimed that night as being the pinnacle of their career.

Phish will be at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida... December 28, 29, 30 & 31, 2009.
