“KEN's vast knowledge and genuine love of music, as well as his expertise and vision, have made him an outstanding producer -- and ultimately the Exec.

"As one of the key architects of our signature 'GRAMMY Moments,' he continues to elevate the content, quality, and production value of our annual telecast. We couldn't be more pleased to continue our long-standing partnership and, more importantly, I am proud to call him my good friend."

"I consider it an honor to have been associated with the GRAMMY AWARDS and CBS for so many years, and to be able to continue this relationship over the next three years," said EHRLICH. "I am proud of the standard of excellence that the GRAMMYs have maintained over the years, and particularly proud of the audience successes and critical acclaim the show has garnered in the years since NEIL, LESLIE MOONVES, NINA TASSLER, JACK SUSSMAN and I have become partners in presenting Music's Biggest Night."
