Premiere Networks and CMT announced the launch of CMT All Access with Cody Alan. The one-hour, Country music and entertainment program will feature the latest news, information and interviews with artists, along with the top Country music songs. Available to Country music stations beginning the weekend of March 22, CMT All Access with Cody Alan will also be heard on iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio mobile app, Clear Channel’s all-in-one free digital listening service.
Award-winning Country radio and CMT personality Cody Alan stated, “We’re building CMT All Access as the ultimate one-stop weekend show for fans who want the latest on what’s happening in country music – plus, A-list interviews and all the behind the scenes exclusives we can pack into one hour. It’s going to be fun!”
“Cody’s long-standing connection to today’s Country artists and their music is the key to this exciting new weekend program,” stated Darren Davis, President, Clear Channel Networks. “Cody has a powerful relationship with listeners across platforms, and we can’t wait to share this additional Premiere Networks programming with audiences nationwide.”
Featuring the hottest headlines in Country music and pop-culture, Premiere Networks and CMT will also launch iHeartRadio CMT Updates, set to be produced and distributed twice daily, beginning Monday, March 24. The updates will launch on iHeartRadio and Clear Channel Media and Entertainment Country stations nationwide.
The launch of CMT All Access with Cody Alan and iHeartRadio CMT Updates is the latest piece of the multi-platform partnership between CMT, the leading television and digital authority on Country music and entertainment, and Premiere’s parent company Clear Channel Media and Entertainment (CCM+E), the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any radio or television outlet. In November 2013, the media companies announced a multi-platform partnership creating the largest Country music platforms in radio and television, with access to CMT and CCM+E’s reach of 92 million households and 89 million Country music listeners per month.
The weekend program and daily updates add to the already robust lineup of Premiere Networks programming hosted by Alan, which includes CMT After MidNite, the highly-acclaimed Country music radio program reaching nearly two million weekly listeners on more than 200 radio stations, as well as the award-winning nightly program CMT Radio Live with Cody Alan. All three programs, as well as the daily updates, will originate from the CMT studio in Nashville.
