And he adds that female artists, who are unquestionably underserved in the heavily male-dominated country format, will get special emphasis on the new station.

“This is an opportunity to bring the entire family of country music together in one spot… the legends, the greats and the future greats,” Brooks said in a statement. “Nashville is being called ‘The Newest City in America,’ and we want to bring a new kind of communication, combining terrestrial and digital radio, built to grow with this city… Our job is NOT to compete with the local channels in Nashville, but to PROMOTE what they have going on.

We are NOT a reporter,” he added, apparently meaning not a station that will be reporting airplay of current hits to the trades; “we are a SERVICE to Music City and its businesses.” A further statement on Brooks’ website read: “That vision includes making sure the women who helped build country music are heard alongside the women leading it today. Female artists have historically received significantly less country radio airplay than their male counterparts.

By featuring female artists from the 1960s through today’s stars, FM-100 has an opportunity to showcase generations of voices together.” Said Brooks about the gender imbalance he intends for the station to address: “We NEED both sides telling the story of country music.” That includes spotlighting female artists going back to the ’60s as well as active in the present day. The sale by Tuned in Broadcasting to Brooks’ company still has to be approved by the FCC.
