Description: Country Dreams is a two-hour, weekly syndicated independent Country music show that’s different from most other shows. We highlight the fresh up-and-coming Country artists, before they hit the charts, while listeners can still chat with them, start their fan clubs, and get to know them on a more personal level. We also throw in a few songs from the stars of yesterday as well. But unlike most Classic Country stations, that only play an artists old hits, we play the brand new music still being created by these great stars, but being overlooked by most radio stations. Brand new music from artists like Merle Haggard, the Bellamy Brothers, Ricky Van Shelton, Tanya Tucker, and more. Country Dreams is produced and hosted by Al Shephard, country lyricist and WBTN-AM employee, and Ronnie Lee Hurst, a Country singer/songwriter. Our indie news segment, “Dreams Come True” is produced and hosted by veteran TV/Radio newsman/DJ Rick Fletcher, who worked for years for Buck Owens at KUZZ, KKXX, and KNIX, and is also a Country singer/songwriter. Our show is distributed by Hottrax Entertainment in Bennington, Vermont. We are currently heard on 1 AM and 6 internet stations. We would like to syndicate nationally which costs roughly $50,000. We are looking for a 6 year loan with first year deferred (until we start bringing in revenue from National advertisers), or a percentage of our show. Please listen to a sample of our show. I know you’ll quickly understand why our fans love us! (URL removed) Thank you for your time!
