TuneIn inks a new partnership with CountryLine Radio, the United Kingdom's largest independent country radio station, to distribute The Big 615 from Garth Brooks' Sevens Radio Network. Launched in June, The Big 615 has features a diverse selection of country hits and interviews with superstar artists like Dolly Parton, Brothers Osborne, Brad Paisley, Lainey Wilson and Jason Aldean, among others.

The Big 615 is the first of several stations curated and conceived by Brooks in partnership with his Sevens Radio Network and TuneIn. Through this new agreement, The Big 615 will now be available through CountryLine's digital audio broadcasting and streaming platforms -- adding over a million monthly listening hours in the U.K.

"CountryLine has a long history of promoting Country Music, so it felt like a natural fit to create a station showcasing a love for Country Music with a group dedicated to it as much as we are," said Brooks. "The U.K. has some of the greatest and most loyal fans of Country Music so we can't wait to share The BIG 615 with CountryLine and its listeners."

CountryLine Radio, originally launched in 2013 as Chris Country, was influential in bringing Country music to the U.K. The station has a rich history of promoting the genre by telling the stories and passion behind the music, drawing in some of the biggest names in country from Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood, to Luke Combs and Ashley McBryde.

"CountryLine's mission is to help country fans around the world live their best country life," commented CountryLine Co-founder & CEO Simon Walker. "Partnering with Garth is a dream come true for us, and we're thrilled to join forces with TuneIn to bring The BIG 615 to U.K. fans. Together we will make The BIG 615 the biggest and best country radio station on the planet."
