Women Of iHeartCountry Show Launches This Weekend

Bobby Bones and Amy Brown
This Labor Day weekend, iHeartMedia and Bobby Bones will launch “Women of iHeartCountry,” an hour-long, weekend program devoted exclusively to female artists.

Executive produced and hosted by Bones, along with co-host Amy Brown, the show will feature music from both established female artists and promising up-and-comers, with weekly guest appearances by other iHeartMedia female on-air personalities.

Listeners can tune-in to the show on 125 iHeartCountry stations nation-wide beginning Saturday (check local listings), as well as on the iHeartRadio app. Recognized as “influential” (USA Today) and as a “tastemaker” (Yahoo), Bones continues to champion new and established artists alike, and will reveal details about the inaugural show with special guest Danielle Bradbery on Instagram.

“This weekend show is another example of iHeartCountry stations and program directors providing platforms that support female artists and voices,” said Rod Phillips, SVP of Programming and Brand Manager for iHeartCountry. “Women of iHeartCountry is an extension of efforts like our On The Verge program where we have shined a spotlight on artists such as Cam, Carly Pearce, Maren Morris and Lauren Alaina as future stars in the Country format.”

“Bobby has changed our format for the better in so many ways,” added Lauren Alaina. “He has been a champion for so many people who really need someone in their corner. I am so thankful to be one of those people. I am so excited for his Women of iHeartCountry show. There are so many amazingly talented women in our format that are going to be able to shine their light a little brighter because he believes in them. I am so proud to be a part of his new show, and I’m even more proud to be his friend. He’s a really special guy.”

“Bobby has always been such a huge supporter of my music and of female artists on Country radio,” premiere week special guest Danielle Bradbery noted. “He was one of the first people to play my new single ‘Goodbye Summer.’ Creating this incredible platform for female voices really speaks to his character. I’m so grateful that champions like Bobby and this iHeartMedia show exist.”

The new show comes as part of Bones’ recently expanded relationship with iHeartMedia. As part of the new deal, Bones also earned the title of Vice President, Creative Director of iHeartCountry and will work with iHeartMedia on additional joint ventures and new creative programming initiatives.

With a “fiercely devoted following” (Washington Post) tuning into his nationally syndicated radio show, The Bobby Bones Show broadcasts to nearly 140 stations and is the #1 Country morning show with millions of listeners each week.  Visit https://bobbybones.iheart.com for more information.
