Red Apple Music Networks is offering radio stations nationwide a new four-hour holiday special commemorating America's 250th anniversary.
"The Freedom 250 Special: Celebrating 250 Years of America" will be hosted by radio icon Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow and singer-songwriter Tony Orlando. The program features a patriotic mix of classic hits and American anthems designed to celebrate the nation's semiquincentennial.
The special will showcase music from some of America's most influential recording artists, including Neil Diamond, Aretha Franklin, The Ronettes, Chicago, The Commodores, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison, Stevie Wonder, Lee Greenwood, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, The Beach Boys and Bruce Springsteen.
"We are delighted to offer The Freedom 250 Special to radio stations as we celebrate 250 years of the United States of America," said Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and WABC Radio. "The special program is a perfect companion to holiday festivities, delivering dynamic and patriotic music to radio stations across the country."
The program is being distributed on a barter basis. Cousin Brucie will host the first and third hours, while Tony Orlando will host the second and fourth hours. The special concludes with a joint farewell message from both hosts.
Red Apple Music Networks is making the program available to stations across the U.S. for use during Independence Day and other America 250 celebrations.
