Are there any Cumulus country stations that have a local show from 7-midnight? I think most run Cody Alan now.

To my knowledge KJJY in Des Moines doesn't have a syndicated evening show, but I don't think they have a host either. KHKI in the same market has CMT Radio Live so they didn't put it on both stations. Interestingly this new show is supposed to go on All Cumulus Country Stations.

My question is... what happens to CMT Radio Live? Does it finally get taken behind the barn and...?

Cody Alan is taking over at Premier for Blair Garner and taking the CMT partnership with him.

Cumulus didn't seem to mind letting him go.

I pity the people who now have to listen to his prerecorded shows for 10 straight hours.

All Cumulus-owned country stations will eventually operate out of a closet, and pump out more lousy "music."

Cody Alan used to be broadcasted on the big station in my area which is WIVK in Knoxville, but they eventually started broadcasting this Nash Nights Live show.

God bless you always!!!

Oh man, please tell me WIVK hasn't gone to that Nash...format. If so, RIP WIVK.

WIVK is still "WIVK" but since it is owned by Cumucrap, it's got "Nash Nights Live". More Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert for all 19-year-old countrypolitan listeners!
I also see that Nash has launched "Nash Icon" in several markets including Albuquerque on 96.3 KBZU. Cumucrap said the format would be the "biggest country artists of the last two decades, who are still recording and touring but not getting enough exposure today." In over 7 hours of looking at the playlist this early morning, they've aired two songs by George Strait, "Carrying Your Love with Me" and "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". Still waiting for "The Chair" and "Ace in the Hole" to be in rotation.

I'll be sure to avoid WIVK like the plague in the evenings then. I think it's actually the Nash Icon stations that are playing 90s and the occasional 80s song. Nash is just playing country from the last few years or at least that's all they were playing when I tried to listen yesterday. Country from today causes me to want to throw something, so I couldn't stick around to find out what they were playing.

I apologize for double posting, but as per another post on this thread, just to let you know that Nash Icon just finished playng The Chair as I'm typing this.

Miranda has done some garbage (the duet with Carrie, "Gunpowder and Lead" and "Kerosene") , but she's mostly traditional. She's not really one of the offenders.

Exactly. She's not hard core traditional, but she can be, and she's not that pop stuff that has to tel you it's country by using every country music stereotype known to man.
