Gretchen Carlson

Gretchen Wilson went overnight from talented obscurity to phenomenon. Her meteoric rise, the kind experienced by only a handful of artists in the past few decades, was that rare instance where talent and moment meet to form a cultural tidal wave. Her accolades include; over 10 million albums sold worldwide, 11 major music awards (including a GRAMMY), and 10 top 10 hits.

For 50 years, Red Eye Radio has been a part of the fabric of the trucking industry by consistently providing professional drivers up-to-the-minute news, information, and entertainment. The show is motivated by one purpose — to deliver a positive, in-cab experience by helping trucker drivers/owner operators and fleet owners stay informed, engaged, and entertained on the road or wherever they are in their daily lives.

With coverage across the United States and most of Canada, Red Eye Radio is hosted by radio veterans Eric Harley and Gary McNamara. The program airs Monday through Sunday from 1 am – 6 am EST on more than 240 AM/FM stations, on-demand/podcasts, on Red Eye Radio’s free downloadable app from iTunes and the Google Play Store, Amazon’s Alexa, and Live Streaming.
