Through their partnership with Canada’s Bell Media and Orbyt Media syndicator, Premiere Networks’ Bobby Bones Show will be heard in Detroit.
Bell’s recently launched “Pure Country 89” 88.7 CIMX Windsor ON is adding The Bobby Bones Show for mornings starting December 14. The station will also carry the weekly Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones. Most of Bell Media’s “Pure Country” branded stations air Bones on delay in evening, but CIMX will be the first Canadian outlet to air the show live in mornings.
iHeartRadio Canada announced today the first live international launch of THE BOBBY BONES SHOW on PURE COUNTRY 89 in Windsor, Ont. Beginning Monday, Dec. 14, the Country Music Association Award and Academy of Country Music Award-winning country radio show airs weekday mornings from 6 – 10 a.m. ET. Each morning, host Bobby Bones and his co-hosts Amy, Lunchbox, and Eddie welcome the biggest names in country music and entertain listeners with their unique mix of pop-culture news and information, crazy stunts, and hilarious conversations.
“My focus is always to do a really compelling show,” said host Bobby Bones. “I’m so excited that we’re ending the year expanding our morning show reach in Canada and I look forward to hanging out with our new friends every morning.”
“The PURE COUNTRY brand has become the premier country music brand in Canada,” said Rob Farina, Head of Radio Content, Strategy, and iHeartRadio. “We’re so excited to be the first international market to feature THE BOBBY BONES SHOW on morning radio.”
“PURE COUNTRY 89 is thrilled that THE BOBBY BONES SHOW will be joining our Windsor-Essex community every morning, bringing his passion for country music with a ton of fun, energy, and excitement for country music radio and its artists,” said Jennifer McLellan, General Manager, Radio and TV – Southwestern Ontario, Bell Media.
Syndicated by Premiere Networks, THE BOBBY BONES SHOW broadcasts to more than 170 stations and is the #1 country morning show in the U.S. with millions of weekly listeners. The show received two Country Music Association Awards for National On-Air Personality of the Year, and four Academy of Country Music Awards in the same category. For his work on the program, Bones earned the title of youngest-ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame.
The addition of THE BOBBY BONES SHOW and the recently added COUNTRY TOP 30 WITH BOBBY BONES to PURE COUNTRY 89 is a result of Premiere Networks’ partnership with Orbyt Media, Canada’s premier content syndication group.
