Editing Juno Awards (section)

==History==
The Juno Awards were originally called the '''RPM Gold Leaf Awards''' named after RPM Magazine. The winners would be announced in RPM magazine before awards night. The first ceremony was held on February 23, 1970 to honour the musical accomplishments of performers for the year 1969, and the trophy resembled a [[metronome]]. But the name was changed in honour of [[Pierre Juneau]], the first president of the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) and former president of the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (CBC).<ref name=billboard>{{cite news|first=Karen|last=Bliss|title=Pierre Juneau, Champion of Canadian Music Talent, Juno Awards Namesake, Dead at 89|url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/pierre-juneau-champion-of-canadian-music-1006252552.story|work=[[Billboard Magazine]]|date=22 March 2012|access-date=15 March 2012|archive-date=31 December 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121231095859/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/pierre-juneau-champion-of-canadian-music-1006252552.story|url-status=dead}}</ref> Juneau was an outspoken advocate for Canadian content regulations.

===1970s===
In 1964 ''[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]'' magazine began polling its readers to determine which artists and groups they considered the best in Canada.<ref>{{cite journal | title=The Juno awards : tenth anniversary special issue | journal=[[RPM (magazine)|RPM Publications]] | year=1980 | pages=9–10 }} "End of Year Awards" were mentioned in 7 December 1964 issue of ''RPM''.</ref><ref name="Inc.1977">{{cite magazine|first=Martin | last=Melhuish|title=Juno 1977 |magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ayMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA76|date=23 April 1977|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=76–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref> ''RPM'' announced the results of these polls each December.<ref name=CollCanadaRPM>{{cite web | url=http://www.collectionscanada.ca/rpm/028020-200-e.html | title=The RPM Story | publisher=[[Library and Archives Canada]] | access-date=27 July 2007 | first=Richard | last=Green | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120605223124/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-200-e.html | archive-date=5 June 2012 | df=dmy-all }}</ref> There were no formal award ceremonies.

Record label owner [[Stan Klees]] met with ''RPM'' founder [[Walt Grealis]] to plan a formal music industry awards ceremony. Instead of merely publishing the award results in ''RPM'', presentations would be made at a physical venue. The first ceremony was the [[Gold Leaf Awards of 1970|Gold Leaf Awards]] which took place on 23 February 1970 in [[Toronto, Ontario]].<ref name="40YR">{{Cite web |title=Celebrating 40 Years of Canadian Music |url=https://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JUNO-Awards-Chronology.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807182154/http://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JUNO-Awards-Chronology.pdf |archive-date=7 August 2016 |access-date=26 April 2018 |website=junoawards.ca |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Later that year ''RPM'' invited its readers to suggest a new name for these awards. The name "Juneau" was submitted, in honour of Pierre Juneau, the first head of the CRTC. Juneau was instrumental in establishing Canadian content regulations for broadcasters to promote Canadian musicians.<ref name="Inc.1977" /> That name became shortened to Juno and by 1971, the awards ceremonies were referred to as the "Juno Awards".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/juno-awards-emc/ | access-date=27 November 2013 | encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] | title=Juno Awards | first=Steve | last=McLean | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203014738/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/juno-awards-emc/ | archive-date=3 December 2013 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

From 1970 to 1973, ''RPM'' announced the winners before the awards night. From 1974, the award winners were not made public until the Juno ceremonies.<ref>{{cite journal | title=The Juno awards : tenth anniversary special issue | journal=[[RPM (magazine)|RPM Publications]] | year=1980 | pages=37 }}</ref> Music industry representatives formed an advisory committee for the Junos in 1974 which became the Canadian Music Awards Association the following year. This organisation assumed full management and operation of the Juno Awards from 1977 and became the [[Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] (CARAS).<ref name="CollCanadaRPM"/><ref>{{cite encyclopedia | url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadian-academy-of-recording-arts-and-sciences-emc | title=Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences | encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] | access-date=27 November 2013 | first=Alexis | last=Luko | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203015221/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/canadian-academy-of-recording-arts-and-sciences-emc/ | archive-date=3 December 2013 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

The Junos were first televised across Canada in [[Juno Awards of 1975|1975]] on [[CBC Television]].<ref name=CJCYoung>{{cite journal | title=The CBC and the Juno Awards | first=David | last=Young | year=2005 | journal=Canadian Journal of Communication | volume=30 | issue=3 | pages=343–366 | doi=10.22230/cjc.2005v30n3a1549 | df=dmy-all | doi-access=free }}</ref> Primary ceremonies continued to be broadcast on CBC until [[Juno Awards of 2001|2001]], moving to [[CTV Television Network]] (CTV) from [[Juno Awards of 2002|2002]] to [[Juno Awards of 2017|2017]] inclusive.

The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was introduced in 1978. In 1979, the statuette's name was officially changed from RPM Annual Gold Leaf Award to the Juno Award, and featured then-Prime Minister of Canada [[Pierre Trudeau]] as a presenter.<ref name="40YR"/>

[[Joni Mitchell]] was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame by Pierre Trudeau in 1982.<ref name="40YR"/>

Initially, the awards were presented during the early part of each year. In 1984, organisers postponed that year's awards until December. CARAS maintained a late-year scheduling until January 1988 when it noted the declining viewership of the Juno broadcasts and reverted to an early year awards schedule. CARAS postponed that year's Juno Awards until 12 March 1989, so there was no ceremony in the 1988 calendar year.<ref>{{cite news | newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]] | date=27 January 1988 | pages=C5 | title=Juno Awards move to spring | first=Chris | last=Dafoe }}</ref>

===1990s===
In 1991, the awards were hosted in Vancouver, the first time the Juno ceremonies were conducted outside Toronto. That year also marked the introduction of a category for [[Hip hop music|rap]] recordings.<ref name=CBC42>{{cite web | url=http://music.cbc.ca/blogs/blogpost.aspx?modPageName=&year=2013&month=4&title=42-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-Juno-Awards&permalink=/blogs/2013/4/42-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-Juno-Awards | title=42 things you didn't know about the Juno Awards | first=Jennifer | last=Van Evra | date=19 April 2013 | publisher=CBC | access-date=10 February 2016 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160215115050/http://music.cbc.ca/blogs/blogpost.aspx?modPageName=&year=2013&month=4&title=42-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-Juno-Awards&permalink=%2Fblogs%2F2013%2F4%2F42-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-Juno-Awards | archive-date=15 February 2016 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

For the first time the 1995 Awards, held in Hamilton's [[FirstOntario Centre|Copps Coliseum]], were open to the public. This marked the 25th anniversary of the Junos.<ref name="40YR"/>

In 1996 the four-CD, 77-song box set ''[[Oh What a Feeling: A Vital Collection of Canadian Music]]'' and a book were released to mark the 25th anniversary of the Juno Awards.

In 2001, a second four-CD box set was released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the awards. In 2006, a third box set was released to celebrate the 35th anniversary which was certified platinum in Canada.<ref name="Brit">{{Cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/art/Juno-Award |title=Juno Awards |website=britannica.com |access-date=25 April 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180426214439/https://www.britannica.com/art/Juno-Award |archive-date=26 April 2018 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

On 18 April 2017, CARAS president Allan Reid announced that the ceremonies would return to CBC for the first time since 2002, for at least the next six years.
