Bluegrass lovers in south central Kentucky have a new outlet for hearing new music on the radio.
WillieCountry, simulcasting in Bowling Green, Jackson, and Murray, KY, as well as Union City, TN, is now airing a local show called Bluegrass From The Bluegrass on Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m. until noon. The new show launched about two months ago, and is hosted by James Coates in Bowling Green.
James’ broadcast career started in 1989, and he has worked at a number of stations throughout Kentucky. At one point he earned a living producing weather reports and forecasts for 200 independent stations from his home studio.
