Country Radio Stations are hotter than ever!

County music was born in the 1920s, on the Southern United States. It originated from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music and it consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, dobros and fiddles as well as harmonicas.

According to the 2015 online stats of the Country Music Association, more than 42% of the US population consumes country music. This corresponds to an astonishing 107 million country music consumers and it’s the no. 1 reported format for audiences spanning in age from 18 to 541, which represents a powerful opportunity for brands.
