Garth Brooks and TuneIn have announced the end of their partnership for The SEVENS Radio Network.
Announced in May 2023 as a suite of seven channels that were to be conceived and curated by Brooks, only three channels launched. “The Big 615” debuted in June 2023 as a Mainstream Country outlet. “Tailgate Radio” followed in August as “TuneIn’s Official Gameday Party Station” with a broad mix of musical genres. “The Garth Channel“, which previously was heard on SiriusXM from 2016 until 2022 relaunched on TuneIn in November 2023.
Tailgate Radio and The Garth Channel will sign-off on Tuesday, September 22. The BIG 615 will continue to operate through the end of the year, but without the involvement of Brooks or SEVENS Radio Network.
Brooks commented, “The Stingray family has been fantastic in the transition along with TuneIn’s people. We couldn’t be happier with the three years we have spent with them and wish them well on their future endeavors and hope we cross paths in the future.”
Brooks intends to launch new broadcast and multimedia initiatives in the coming months. No word yet on the staff of the stations yet, which includes BIG 615 voice Storme Warren, Program Director Bob Richards, and Music Director Monta Vaden.
