Garth Brooks' sports-themed Tailgate Radio hits TuneIn in time for college football
View Date:2024-12-23 23:16:44
Garth Brooks isn't just on the radio. He's creating stations and programming.
The country music superstar announced the launch of Tailgate Radio on Tuesday, which will mix music and sports on the TuneIn streaming service. It's the second of two stations of his Sevens Radio Network, which launched in June with The Big 615, a country music station.
Brooks, who played football and baseball in high school, and got a track and field scholarship to Oklahoma State University (he competed in javelin), shared the news in a statement Tuesday, stating that the goal is to "bring game day beats to sports fans everywhere."
Tailgate Radio is "one of those ideas someone says, ‘Why didn’t we do this a long time ago?’ … This combines everyone’s passion for sports and music. It also allows you to enjoy your tailgate, barbeque or poolside party without doing the work. There’s so much music on this channel. Tailgate Radio will be everyone’s favorite.”
Tailgate Radio will broadcast 24/7 all year-round and was already blasting tunes Tuesday afternoon, with successive songs from Naughty By Nature ("Hip Hop Hooray"), Green Day ("American Idiot"), Dwight Yoakam ("Guitars, Cadillacs"), Post Malone ("Better Now") and Sgt Slick ("Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!").
Among the shows announced for Tailgate Radio:
- Tailgate Top 20 with Maria: Station host Maria Taylor, who's also the host of NBC's "Football Night in America", will serve as DJ on a weekly countdown show "highlighting the 20 biggest songs across genres from a specific year while running through some of the biggest sports stories from that year," according to the announcement.
- Block Party: A 4-hour Saturday night block of music "featuring everything from Luke Combs to Beyoncé to Eminem. This will be the music you need to fuel your party into the wee hours."
- Tailgate Takeover: Athletes and celebrities will serve as guest hosts who give listeners insights about the music and playlists they jam to. Garth Brooks will serve as the first host.
Football fans will be able switch between Tailgate Radio and stations carrying football games using a new feature called TuneIn Switch, coming in September for Android and iOS devices. The feature will automatically switch to the game for kickoff and also lets you toggle between the game and Tailgate Radio.
