Premiere Networks announced today (Jan. 4) it will syndicate The Bobby Bones Show on country radio stations nationwide Monday-Friday, in the 5 to 10 a.m. time slot. Set to air from Nashville, Tenn. studios, the morning program will first debut on Nashville’s The BIG 98/WSIX and the station’s SiriusXM channel 57 on Feb. 18.

The program will then be brought nationwide on Feb. 25 with syndication on iHeartRadio’s webcast and mobile app and broadcast stations, which currently include KSD-FM/St. Louis; KTGX-FM/Tulsa, Okla.; KASE-FM/Austin, Texas; WCKT-FM/Ft. Myers, Fla.; KYKR-FM/Beaumont, Texas; WTXT-FM/Tuscaloosa, Ala.; and WOBB-FM/Albany, Ga.

In addition, Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones, a new four-hour weekend country music program, will launch nationwide the weekend of March 2 and 3. Each week, Bones, Lunchbox and Amy will showcase the top country songs, in addition to artist interviews. The show will be available for air Saturday or Sunday between 6 a.m. and midnight local time.

“When we created The Bobby Bones Show back in 2002, we wanted to give listeners a fun, real and entertaining morning show,” said Bones. “More than 10 years later, that’s what continues to drive us every day. Nashville, here we come!”

“Bobby has always had a strong interest in Country and with the success of his show in the CHR format, we have no doubt the program will resonate with this new audience and see much continued growth and success,” said Jennifer Leimgruber, Premiere Networks EVP of Entertainment Programming. “Bobby is a tremendous talent. His fun, natural and engaging approach to morning radio and passion for Country music will be great for the format and for listeners nationwide.”
