Earlier this year, Garth Brooks announced an exclusive deal with TuneIn to launch a series of stations led by the country music icon called the SEVENS Radio Network. Now Brooks and TuneIn are sharing two of those streaming stations with Audacy via the company’s website and app.
The first station, The BIG 615, marked Brooks’ return to radio after he departed from SiriusXM. Featuring Storme Warren as the voice of the station, the country station sees Warren collaborate closely with Brooks on content and guest hosting. The second station is Tailgate Radio, a hybrid station blending music and sports.
The station’s programming includes “Tailgate Top 20 with Maria,” where NBC Sports reporter Maria Taylor counts down the top 20 songs across various genres, paired with memorable sports highlights from specific years. Additionally, “The Block Party” offers a four-hour Saturday night mix show.
Audacy’s pickup of the coveted Brooks stations appears to be an act of reciprocity after TuneIn renegotiated a new deal with the radio company in June, which brought the brand’s more than 250 stations and full podcast library to the TuneIn app.
