August 30, 2023/by LB Cantrell

Phyllis Stark

Veteran journalist Phyllis Stark will join Country Aircheck in a newly created role of Executive Radio Editor on Sept. 5. Stark is the former Nashville Bureau Chief for All Access, which closed its doors on Aug. 15.

Stark has been covering the radio and country music industries for more than three decades. In addition to her time at All Access, Stark served as the Nashville Bureau Chief and Sr. Radio Editor at Billboard; Managing Editor of Billboard’s radio publication, Airplay Monitor; Sr. Content Editor at Cox Media Group’s Rare Country; Executive Producer/National Content for the E.W. Scripps Company/Journal Broadcast Group; and Contributing Editor for the CMA’s Close Up magazine.

She has also worked as Executive Editor/Country Music at Radio-Info.com; VP/A&R for independent record label Robbins Nashville; and Nashville Music Correspondent and feature writer for Microsoft’s MSN.com.

“Having competed with Phyllis in various iterations over the years, I know exactly how formidable she is as a writer and thinker in the radio and music business trade coverage space,” says Country Aircheck Publisher/CEO Lon Helton. “Adding her to our already stellar team will immeasurably strengthen Country Aircheck’s ability to tell the stories of this business and its people.”

Stark can be reached at phyllis@countryaircheck.com.
