Country Hits Radio is getting a brand new name! From Monday 17th May we’ll be joining the Absolute Radio family and will be known as Absolute Radio Country!

We can’t wait for you to join us at our new home that celebrates music written, created and performed by the biggest British and global country artists. You’ll still be able to hear all your favourite shows and we can’t wait to play you the best country where ‘Real Music Matters’.

From Keith Urban to Maren Morris, Dolly to Darius and everyone in between, you’ll be able to continue listening on DAB, online through through the Absolute Radio App and also on your smart speaker by asking it to “Play Absolute Radio Country”
