WWO Launches ''Country Nights Live'' with Bev Rainey

Bev Rainey

Westwood One has announced the debut of a new syndicated nighttime Country music radio show, "Country Nights Live with Bev Rainey." The five-hour live program will originate from Nashville and air seven days a week, from 7-midnight. The show is set to launch on December 31 in markets across the U.S.

Hosted by award-winning Country radio personality Bev Rainey, "Country Nights Live" will feature chart-topping hits, interviews with top Country stars, and spotlights on emerging talent. The show will also provide listeners with the latest news and gossip from Music City, all delivered with Rainey's storytelling and interactive style.

"From the moment I began in Country radio, it's been my dream to broadcast nationally, live from the capital of Country music," said Rainey. "I'm thrilled to be hosting Country Nights Live and joining the Westwood One team."

Cumulus Media Chief Content Officer Brian Philips described the program as a dynamic addition to the nighttime Country lineup. "The fresh adrenaline in Country Nights Live will come from Bev's ability to spontaneously interact with fans from all over America. This key daypart deserves more showmanship and razzle-dazzle than Country, as a format, has historically given it. As we welcome Bev, everything changes in the New Year."
