Sun Broadcast Launches Retooled Countdown Show

Fitz

Sun Broadcast Group has announced that the revamped Country countdown program hosted by morning personality Fitz is set to launch this weekend.

Formally called "Powered by Country," the new "Hit List with Fitz" will debut its first show under the new name on Saturday, March 7. SBG says the new "Hit List" will have "a fresh modern sound," new interactive features, more artist experiences, while spotlighting the top 25 songs in Country music.

"The conventional countdown has always been very heavily scripted and predictable," said SBG Seniot VP/Programming Ron Rivlin. "The Hit List brings personality, entertainment and fun back to the format. Plus, he's the only countdown host that's in your station's target demo."

"The Hit List with Fitz will change the landscape & sound of countdown shows in all formats," added Fitz. "My goal is to give you a morning show on the weekend plus play the formats biggest songs. We will take audience interaction to a new level & provide you with focused and entertaining content that brings the 'real' & 'the funny.' I have the greatest team surrounding me and when you have such strong support the world better watch out. Prepare for the Hitz."

The Hit List with Fitz debuts on more than 75 stations including KKWF-FM/Seattle, KYGO-FM/Denver, WWKA-FM/Orlando, KWJJ-FM/Portland and KSON–FM/San Diego. Fitz also announces the launch of his new web and social media sites that incorporate all his syndicated products at FollowFitz.com.
