The Country Oldies Show Shines in 25th Year


In 1994, country superstars Johnny Cash, Lorrie Morgan, Merle Haggard, Patty Loveless, Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson and Mary Chapin Carpenter were on the charts singing timeless country favorites. It was also the year that an already highly-regarded broadcast star began The Country Oldies Show from studios in New York City.

Twenty-Five years later, 2019 Country Radio Hall of Fame Nominee Steve Warren is still spinning the songs from these superstars while seated in a very comfortable studio in Long Island City (the future home of Amazon’s NYC headquarters) as he hosts and produces the three-hour weekly The Country Oldies Show, syndicated nationwide and globally by Envision Networks®.

His guest list over the years has been a cascade of country royalty from Ray Price, Steve Wariner and Crystal Gayle to the Oak Ridge Boys, Larry Gatlin and Janie Fricke to name a few.

"I guess when we first started the show, the country music world had tilted toward all the "hot, young, new" artists. It was crazy,” said Steve Warren. “Since I started in country radio very young, my career was parallel to many of the superstars of an earlier era. Now, every week, as I sit in our studio to produce the show, I feel like I’m in the company of old friends."

Steve’s extensive resume includes stops at all NYC country stations (WHN, WKHK and WYWY).

He programmed powerhouse country outlets WPTR in Albany, N.Y. and KKYX in San Antonio, and he designed and implemented the country channels for Sirius Satellite Radio. Steve can be contacted directly at steve@countryoldies.com.

Steve is going strong and continues to play the greatest country hits from the 50s to the 90s. A perfect weekend play on country stations, call Envision Networks at 216.831.3761and say that you want to join The Country Oldies Show family or email countryoldiesshow@envisionnetworks.com.
