Audacy Launching Nashville Sound Space
The Studio will formally launch next Thursday, Sept. 5 with an exclusive grand opening event and ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Country superstar Thomas Rhett. The facility will also serve as the new home of Katie & Company, hosted by Katie Neal, winner of the 2024 ACM National Daily On-Air Personality of the Year award, and now airing on 37 Audacy-owned and partner affiliate stations.
“A permanent presence in Music City continues to elevate Audacy’s commitment to Country music and live events,” said Jeff Sottolano, Audacy Chief Programming Officer. “The proximity of a professional studio coupled with an intimate performance venue and the singular talent of Katie Neal as a host and interviewer enables us to produce exclusive experiences for listeners and simultaneously, a seamless transition for artists to move between the studio and stage. The Audacy Nashville Sound Space will be the heartbeat of our Country music format.”
Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment & Brand Management, Hard Rock International & Seminole Gaming, added, “Hard Rock’s partnership with Audacy has provided a truly incredible platform for world-class artists to grace Hard Rock stages across the country, and we’re thrilled to be launching the Audacy Nashville Sound Space in Nashville to further our reach.” [Photos by Parker Young]
