Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Matthew West will co-host the 2016 K-LOVE Fan Awards TV program together for the first time this summer. 

"I'm so excited to be hosting this year's awards along with Elisabeth," said West, a four-time Grammy nominee, in a statement shared with The Christian Post. "This event has become such a wonderful celebration of how God uses Christian music to impact culture through K-LOVE's airwaves every single day."

Fans' votes will determine the official nominees in each of the seven categories, including Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, and Female Artist of the Year, among others. 

"What a thrill and blessing it is to co-host the 2016  K-LOVE Fan Awards with the brilliant Matthew West," added Hasselbeck. "To all my K-LOVE friends: get ready to praise and party with us because #GodIsGood!"

The New York Times best-selling author and long-time supporter of Christian music first announced her return as host live on "FOX & Friends" during her final day on the show.

Last year, while on the red carpet of the awards show, Hasselbeck said she is just doing what she is called to do, and is enjoying every moment of it, albeit a little star struck.

"When the spirit moves you, it's not like you can say no. However, God wants to use me for His glory, I have surrendered that to Him and His plan. I am thankful to be here with my family and let the kids see a big party for God, and meet all my favorite artists," she told BREATHEcast. "I'm just gonna have trouble focusing because I'm gonna be up there saying something and then spot TobyMac or Mac Powell. It's hard to be a major fan of K-LOVE and host I think, so we'll see."

Offering a weekend of full access for music fans, packages are now available for purchase. For more  information about the 2016 K-LOVE Fan Awards, visit KLOVEFanAwards.com.
