We really enjoyed this visit with Kenny Jay about what Country Music in 2025 may look like. Kenny is a guy we love working with at Clear 99. He works with radio stations now, but has worked with artists like Morgan Wallen and Hardy on the record label/artists management side of things. We asked Kenny to come up with a couple of trends he see's for the format in 2025. Not just things that would be important for us as radio people, but things you would find interesting too. It's a great "peek behind the curtain", and we think you'll enjoy it too. (:18) Setup (1:41) Kenny's credentials (3:30) A brief overview of Country music in 2024, and how things may shift in 2025.
