With the CMA Awards just days away, it's time to brush up on your country grammar. It's been a busy year, with newcomers like Taylor Swift making headlines (for several reasons), and other headliners like Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and The Zac Brown Band all in contention for awards in an extremely wide open field. It promises to be a night packed full of drama and surprises. You don't really wanna be the only person who doesn't know Brooks & Dunn's latest single do you? To get you in the perfect mood for the CMAs and all the awards-show pageantry that's sure to accompany it, we've set you up with a rundown of the top five country music stations. So get your ballots out, solidify your awards party schedules, and check out these top country stations and more, all available in the SHOUTcast Radio Directory. To listen to these stations and more, find them in the Country genre.
Top 5 Country Radio Stations
5) AMPED FM Country
The AMPED headquarters may be in the UK, but when it comes to real country, there's nothing British about it. All the big players in contemporary country are here. All you have to do is tune in.
Country music, like America, is big. It's all about big chords, big trucks, and big audiences. What better place to find a big selection of country then, than Big R Radio's 100.7? With their constantly changing country mixes, it's a great appetizer to the CMA main course you're gonna feast on this week.
977's Country Channel, like the rest of its varied stations, offers a great panoramic glimpse of the contemporary country landscape, with a few oldies interspersed every now and then to keep us all honest.
The name says it all, really. All the big hits--and all the names you'll be hearing repeatedly at the Awards--can be found here. 1.FM has its finger firmly applied to the pulse of country music. And it's throbbing.
We said pretty much everything there is to say about 181.FM's country music buffet in our SHOUT Out yesterday. So let's just add that there's an obvious reason it's the most popular country station in the Directory. We'll let you tune in and hear it for yourself.
1. thanks for info abt stations! loved it. But, i think you must hyperlink the stations as well. Don't expect me go back to the original home page and search for this station when it can be done in a click.
thanks anyways-
