A new/old country music station is now playing on iHeartRadio — Bob Kingsley's Countdown Classics!
Thanks to a fellow Redditor, I was informed that a new country station just recently premiered last month on the radio streaming service, and I have quickly added it to my presets.
It's called Bob Kingsley's Countdown Classics, and the channel essentially plays the late country radio legend's long-running Country Top 40 countdown program. Kingsley died in 2019 at age 80, shortly after announcing that he had bladder cancer.
According to his bio as a 2016 National Radio Hall of Fame inductee, Kingsley began his broadcast career in 1958 in the Air Force. He worked at California stations before hosting the nationally syndicated “American Country Countdown” in 1978. In 2006, established “Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40,” which was being distributed to more than 320 radio stations at the time of his death.
After listening for about an hour so far, I can happily say that I recommend it! They play lots of great country artists from the past 50 years! Definitely worth checking out!
