WHATS ON?

The Road & The Radio

 

The Road & the Radio is a different kind of radio station, but we didn’t just show up last week. The creators the Road & the Radio station are veteran broadcasters, having worked on air and in programming at major market radio stations from Toronto to Nashville to LA. We recently completed a successful 17-year run with a weekly two-hour syndicated Trucker Radio Show, heard on stations throughout the nation . Now we are taking that experience by launching an online radio station that mixes core 80’s and 90’s country music with some of the biggest hits from the 70’s and, on the end end, from the early 2000’s, before country music went off the rails, with bro-country, hick-hop and cheesy boyfriend country. Don’t get us wrong, we like to rock the country once in a while.  That about the music. But wait…there’s more. If you call now…(oh wait. wrong pitch)

We have a second target audience…the same ones who enjoy the best country music, but also some humor. During the day, listen for true but often hilarious road stories on our Dufus Driver feature from Tim Denis.  Also, twice a day Stan Campbell has a brain testing country quiz for you with his Star Story feature.  Hey, we can get serious too. We have conversations with interesting people in our TNT Podcast, including those brave people who fight human trafficking and occasionally a heart-rending interview with a survivor of sex-trafficking. It’s a passion of ours.  There is more to come, including interviews we have done with some of the greats of country music including George Jones. Merle Haggard, Charley Pride and Charlie Daniels and more.

 

THE DAILY MIX

  •  TNT  – TNT can be whatever we want it to be. It can be Travel New Talk, Truck News Talk, Traffic News Talk, Trade News Talk, and getting very serious Trafficking News Talk. Whatever the topic, TNT is a 20 to 30 minute conversation with interesting and inspiring people, and a few who will shock us, like those who are surviving sex trafficking. TNT is featured several times a day on The Road & the Radio.
  • THE DUFUS DRIVER – Hey we need a break from bad news and politics. The Dufus Driver segment with host Tim Denis is heard several times throughout the day and features true, and often funny stories about some of the crazies we encounter on the road. We present the Dufus Driver in the interest of defensive driving, because, “we share the road with these people!”
  • STAR STORY – The greatest part of the The Road and the Radio is spent playing the best country music from the 80’s and 90’s, with a few gems from the 70’s and into the 2000’s.  If you love country music, the Star Story tests your country smarts. We unashamedly steal a strategy from the late Paul Harvey’s “Rest of the Story” but this time with host Stan Campbell.”   Can you ID the artist before the commercial?
  • ROAD SCHOLARS – Other than country music, we love the open road but it’s not always fun. First, we salute the men and women who bring almost everything we own…Truckers. They have stories to tell…positive and not so positive. Before you take that cruise or European vacation, we invite you to see the USA and Canada, close up, on the road. We have advice, stories from road warriors and our own personal adventures, driving through every state and province. We’ll cover it…whether you are travelling in your own four wheels, 18 wheels, or in an RV, hauling a travel trailer, or hauling ass!
