The "Tim and Faith show" - or should that be the other way around? - which recently rolled into Kansas City, promises to take Nashville by storm tonight at the 34th annual "Country Music Association Awards." The live ceremonies air at 7 on Channel 5. Husband-and-wife superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have each been nominated for the CMA's biggest award, Entertainer of the Year, and Hill's "Breathe" album is up for a raft of trophies. Also expected to pick up hardware are singer/songwriter Brad Paisley, supergroup Dixie Chicks and (if it were my ballot to fill) the velvety Lee Ann Womack. All-time leading CMA award-winner Vince Gill is host for the ninth straight year. Also tonight, "Star Trek: Voyager" launches its seventh and final season at 8 on UPN (Channel 29). When we last left the luckless Voyager crew, they were in a familiar position - trapped by the zombielike Borg Collective that stands between them and a clear shot at Earth (which you just know will be cleared by season's end). In other "Voyager" news, UPN says the Doctor (Robert Picardo) this season will do battle with "a bizarre HMO-type medical bureaucracy." Didn't Dick Van Dyke do that last season on "Diagnosis Murder"? The 34th Annual CMA Awards (7 p.m. on 5 ): Performers include Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks, Kenny Rogers, Martina McBride, Lonestar, Trisha Yearwood, Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry. 212520 (CC) @ART CAPTION:The Dixie Chicks @ART:Photo (color) >>>
