The United Kingdom’s Bauer Media is launching the first-ever nationwide Country Music radio station in the UK, Country Hits Radio, and it has picked up The Ty Bentli Show. Bentli, and his co-hosts Chuck Wicks and Tricia “TJ” Jenkins, will entertain fans during PM drive time across the UK.
James Brownlow, Content Director for Country Hits Radio, said “Since we have the responsibility of launching the UK’s first-ever national country music radio brand, it was vitally important to everyone at Country Hits Radio that we pull together a team that could represent the current country music scene as well as authentically engage UK and world audiences with original, entertaining, and market-leading content. This vision led us directly to The Ty Bentli Show. After speaking to Ty and the team at Westwood One and Cumulus Media, we knew this was the right fit. Great Britain is going to have one brilliant country music party each weekday on their way home!”
“We’re delighted that Bauer Media recognized that by giving The Ty Bentli Show a featured role on their Country Hits Radio channel, they are giving their UK audience a front-row seat to Nashville’s country music scene,” added Suzanne Grimes, EVP, Marketing for Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. “Ty’s unique interview style attracts the who’s who of country music, and we are excited to share the program with an entirely new audience of country music fans.”
