Bobby Bones Crosses The Pond
• iHeartMedia’s own Nashville-based personality Bobby Bones is bringing his weekly Premiere-syndicated Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones show over to the UK as his show has been added to the schedule of Chris Country, which services London & the South East, Suffolk, Cambridge, Glasgow, Central Manchester, Portsmouth, Wrexham, Chester and Liverpool. Bones said, “Country music has never been more in demand, and we’re excited to help share the music and stories coming out of Nashville with the UK fans every week.”
Also joining Chris Country is Women of iHeartCountry, an hour-long weekend program hosted by Bones and Amy Brown, also syndicated by Premiere Networks and airs on nearly 140 iHeartMedia stations in the U.S. and Canada. Brown said, “I couldn’t be happier that Chris Country will be sharing Women of iHeartCountry with UK listeners — it’s so important that stations support female artists and voices.”
Chris Country’s new weekend schedule begins this Saturday, July 6, and also includes new UK additions, including Scott Phillips, Mikey Faulkner and Liam Scott. Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40 will continue to be broadcast on Saturday mornings, and the station, which launched in 2013, can be heard on DAB+ across much of the UK.
