The Country Oldies Show Celebrates Silver Anniversary


The Country Oldies Show aired for the first time from New York City in August 1994. Host Steve Warren celebrates his Silver Anniversary with one of the longest consecutive running country radio shows on air.

“When I started the weekly show it was a quirky little Sunday night program playing oldies in a Country music world of “Hot,” “Young” and “New” Country radio formats, little did we know that those legendary country songs and artists had the staying power to survive and continue to attract a weekly national audience,” said Steve Warren. “When I sit down to record each week’s program, it’s like being in the company of old friends … because that’s exactly what it is for me.”
