Annual CMA Music Festival
This year, the special is hosted by Kelsea Ballerini and Thomas Rhett. Running three hours, it will feature performances filmed during the country festival in Nashville, Tenn., last June — an event that boasted live music on 11 stages, more than 300 acts and 88,500 avid fans. Performers include Trace Adkins, Rascal Flatts, Sam Hunt, Brett Young, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope. (ABC)
THE BOONIES
As some people go to extreme lengths and places to escape the ubiquity of technology, life off the grid is redefined. The premiere of this new docu-series spotlights individuals who are hiding out where no one else thinks to look — above the grid in the trees, below the grid in caves, outside the grid on a remote island, and beyond the grid on the mountaintops.

MARLON
Loosely inspired by the life of star Marlon Wayans, this update to the classic family comedy centres on a sometimes-misguided father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife. In the premiere, Marlon (Wayans) and Ashley’s (Essence Atkins) relationship gets complicated when Ashley starts dating. Then in the second episode, which follows immediately, Ashley challenges Marlon to have a yard sale to get rid of items from when they were married. (NBC)
MASTERCHEF
Season 13 of the culinary competition continues with the episode Vegas Deluxe & Oyster Shucks. The top 12 chefs cook for 50 entertainment and hospitality VIPs at the Caesars Palace 50th anniversary party in Las Vegas. The losing team competes in the pressure test. (CTV, Fox)
SUITS
The legal drama’s seventh season continues with Home to Roost. Mike (Patrick J. Adams) deals with the blowback on his prison case, Harvey (Gabriel Macht) tries to tell Donna (Sarah Rafferty) about his relationship with Paula (Christina Cole), and Louis’s (Rick Hoffman) past behaviour comes back to haunt him.
