TuneIn has partnered with CountryLine Radio to bring Garth Brooks’ global country music station The BIG 615 to the U.K. through CountryLine’s digital audio broadcasting and streaming platforms.
Beginning today (Feb. 27), country fans can tune in to catch a fresh lineup of programming from The BIG 615, including The Storme Warren Show. With the addition of the new programming, CountryLine Radio, the largest independent country radio station in the U.K., will take on a new mantle, “CountryLine: The BIG 615.”
“It’s an honor to team up with CountryLine to have The BIG 615 broadcasting throughout the U.K.,” says Brooks. “Hearing the same broadcast on two different continents brings us ALL a lot closer.”
“This is huge for U.K. country fans – Nashville has landed!” says Simon Walker, CEO of CountryLine. “We’re thrilled to welcome our partners at The BIG 615 to our airwaves. British listeners are going to quickly learn from Garth and his team that 615 is not just the area code for Nashville, but shorthand for the best country radio station on the planet.”
Listeners can also catch The Nathalie Cox Show, hosted by CountryLine co-founder and creative director Nathalie Cox on the new CountryLine: The BIG 615. The show airs on Sundays from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. GMT, bringing a British perspective on the best of country music.
“CountryLine and the team behind the brand are the authorities on country music in the U.K.,” says Rich Stern, CEO of TuneIn. “Together, we are bringing a truly global country music station to audiences through a trusted, regional partner for an authentic experience. This partnership further executes upon our mission to change radio distribution to bring listeners the best experiences wherever they are in the world.”
