The event is to tape at the Cobb Energy Center Nov. 10 and will premiere on both Centric and BET in a special simulcast Nov. 28.

The presentation is intended to highlight R&B music's finest and "bridges the gap between the soulful sounds of yesterday, today and tomorrow," organizers said in a news release Thursday.

"We are excited to welcome the return of the Soul Train Awards to Centric," Paxton Baker, Centric's general manager and executive vice president, said in a statement.

"The Soul Train brand is part of the very fabric of American culture, and has played a vital role in shaping the cultural framework and musical tastes of Centric's 25- to 54-year-old audience," Baker said. "It is our goal for this show to become a staple among television viewers."
