Chris Country is a country music
UK-based radio station. It launched on 27 April 2013.
Audience figures 33,000 listeners per week RAJAR June 2017.
Founder: Chris Stevens
Chris’s passion for country music came about
when he moved to Texas and discovered Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Alan
Jackson on the radio. He quickly got hooked, and brought the country bug back
with him five years later.
"I lived in the USA for five years, and
when I moved back, I couldn't find a Country station here like the ones I
enjoyed there, so I set up my own," shared CHRIS COUNTRY RADIO founder
Chris Stevens. "Today's Country
music is incredibly well written and produced. We know we'll get a warm
reception from the thousands of Country music fans already in LONDON, but we
also want to welcome those who might not have checked Country music out before.
Chances are they'll really enjoy it!"
An audio producer by day, Chris started “Chris
Country” as a joke between friends, and it’s snowballed since then! He’s
interviewed numerous country singers including Kacey Musgraves, Lady
Antebellum, Eric Church and Kelsea Ballerini and the show is heard
not only on Chris Country, but around 20 other stations across the UK.
Many US stars (Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown,
Drake White etc) & UK country superstars (The Shires, Ward Thomas) are backing
the station with shout-out radio indents and countless Inde acts and country
fans are pictured holding the Chris Country LOGO shield | c2c2017-listener-logo-pics | chriscountry/photos
