A KCHRN Country Station?

Some of you know that my wife (Lady_Juke) and myself have been running the KChost Radio Network for some years now. We produce and develop radio shows like The Anvil of Crom, The NightWatch Show, Riff Revolution and the Wild Wild Westmar Show and stream music 24x7.
The beginning of this year we launched the NightWatch Network that broadcast all paranormal content and play old 40's/50's radio shows to fill the gaps. We have also taken in some other stations as part of the KChost Radio Network.

NOW...

For the last few years I have acquired a lot of country music (yes I have the license) and made a lot of friends with some local and national country acts. I have been toying around with the idea of starting a Country Station and was wondering what everyone else thinks about it? Like all our stations we will stream in 128K CD Quality and support up to 300 listeners. We could also air any original music from local acts.

Mostly the Outlaw and old standard country, and I hope with the help of some of you older forgotten country. This will also include some recording from JCMPC and other local country bands. My thinking is that if you want to hear new country you can tune into any local country AM/FM Station.; ▶ Reply to This

That way you capture Clint Black's sophomore release, Patty Loveless, Ricky Van Shelton, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, and Shenandoah. But leave out Travis Tritt and and Garth Brooks' debut releases (because that's the starting point for new country).

Just my two cents.
