Countdown To Women Of iHeartCountry
• This Labor Day weekend, iHeartMedia and Bobby Bones will launch Women of iHeartCountry, an hour-long, weekend show devoted exclusively to female artists. Executive produced and hosted by Bones and Amy Brown (pictured, below), the show will feature music from both established female artists and promising up-and-comers, with weekly guest appearances by other iHeartMedia female air personalities. The show launches this Saturday on 125 iHeartCountry stations and on the iHeartRadio app.
Bones continues to champion new and established artists alike, and will reveal details about the inaugural show featuring special guest Danielle Bradbery on Instagram. “Bobby has always been such a huge supporter of my music and of female artists on Country radio,” Bradbery noted. “He was one of the first people to play my new single, ‘Goodbye Summer.’ Creating this incredible platform for female voices really speaks to his character. I’m so grateful that champions like Bobby and this iHeartMedia show exist.”
“This weekend show is another example of iHeartCountry stations and program directors providing platforms that support female artists and voices,” said Rod Phillips, SVP of Programming and Brand Manager for iHeartCountry. “Women of iHeartCountry is an extension of efforts like our On The Vergeprogram where we have shined a spotlight on artists such as Cam, Carly Pearce, Maren Morris and Lauren Alaina as future stars in the Country format.”
As RAMP recently reported, this new show is part of Bones’ recently expanded relationship with iHeartMedia. As part of the new deal, Bones also earned the title of Vice President, Creative Director of iHeartCountry and will work with iHeartMedia on additional joint ventures and new creative programming initiatives.
