I am currently a Country Music On Air Personality and I would say there is some great station in Nashville like WKDF, WSM-FM , WSM-AM, WANT in Lebanon and also WTNK in Hartsville, TN they play some good Country Music. It is hard to find good Country music and those stations has it going on and play today's and yesterday's hits and that's what I think alot of folks wanna hear.. Am I wrong? I know things change but I mean the legends needs to played too some may agree and some may not but it's the truth I think.. So does anyone listen to those station's I listed here? I sure hope everyone has a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year......

what's the difference between "good country music", and "country music"? i'm still searching for both; damn this town. we are our own saviors, and satans
Yes I did leave out WHIN 1010AM in Gallatin, TN and yes they have good country music too but i can get that on WANT 98.9FM since they both have the same satellite folks Real Country.. Far as good Country Music well let's see here, There is some great Country Singer Of Today's Country Music Yes But Look The Legends Still Deserves To Be Heard If It Wasn't For Them There Wouldn't be no country music and alot of station is forgetting about them and Yes I understand that alot of the younger generation doesn't like the legends and that's because they haven't been exposed to it and i run into alot of young folks after my radio show and they are like wow that some good music folks hat hasn't never heard of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Hank Williams, Sr And So on.. Don't get me wrong I like alot of Today's Country Music not saying nuffin is wrong with it and no one take me wrong its just not many plays the legends anymore...
I worked at a Real Country Affiliate up in Kentucky in the early 90's and in my opinion, Real Country does an excellent balance between new and old. Many country stations today could learn a lot by listening to them. Some of the new country is fine but my main gripe about most stations play lists these days is country music existed before Taylor Swift (not really even bona-fide country imo) Kellie Pickler and other "homecoming queen" artists that we are inundated with these days. I always thought that in order to truthfully sing "real" country music, you had to do some living first. To me there just is something not right with listening to a 19-20 year old sing about how hard life is and the general themes that go with country. They haven't even lost their baby fat yet!
I realize that time moves on and new artists do come onto the playing field but I cannot help but think that in addition to the new artists, there is room on the play lists for those folks who worked,sweated,and paved the way for the genre today. We would not be here today without folks like Willie Nelson, Barbara Mandrell, Waylon, Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and I could go on with more. To sum all this up, I suppose I'm saying that play lists just need to be broader that the same 30 songs over and over.

Absolutely I agree with that Real Country Plays A Huge Variety And There Is Other Stations That Plays A Huge Variety Of Country Music Music And We Need To Broaden Our Playlists Your Correct Cause The Legends Did Pave The Way For The New Country Music Artist So True...
RadioZack said:Classic country music doesn't hold up as well as classic rock 'n roll or top 40. That music doesn't get ratings...anywhere. Nashville would be no different, even if Nancy Jones thinks so.
In many ways, it's easier to follow a progression of early rock 'n' roll to today's country, than it is to follow early rock 'n' roll to today's rock.
Yeah Okay Then.. Just Some Folks Doesn't Care About The Legends In Country Music & That's Why They All Have Been Almost Forgotten And It Truly Freaking Sucks Cause All Dang New Country Music Artist Needs To Be Thanking Them For Paving The Way For Them In The Genre And Yes I Understand That Alot Does Not Like Classic Country Music But Hey They Do Deserve To Be Heard Just Like All The New Dang Country Artists As Well Some Of The New Singers Couldn't Carry A Tune In A Dang Bucket If it Wasnt For Voice Equipment Just Blows My Mind But Ole Well I Have No Say So And Just All The Legends Needs To Be Heard As Well In Country Music So Of Course We All Will Not Agree I Hope Everyone Has A Merry Christmas

no more calls please...we have a winner in our "longest run-on sentence without a single punctuation mark" contest.
RadioGuy...we get it...you like the legends. good. just realize that the legends as a format...with a few exceptions...does not hold up.
If it did...stations would be all over it. KFD gave it a good shot...and a fair chance...when they launched as country.
Early on the old tunes have that "oh wow" factor...after the 15th spin...not so much.

Mix and Fish can't do that...
IS it December 26th yet!! I want to hear Country Music on 98 again!!! OLD Or NEW. I also want to hear the new show, and DEAN's back!
Going to be interesting to see how WSM-FM & KDF attack once they hear the new show. Surely this is all the lead in
