FULL THROTTLE COUNTRY is Country Music Radio's Interactive FREE Idea Sharing and New Media Platform. We specialize in idea sharing of many categories of programming and operations: Stationality development, imaging, morning show concepts, programming in the PPM age, talent coaching, job searching, career advancement, research, we are your social media authority, production, format clocks/grids, sales, marketing and new technologies.
We began May 29, 2009 as an independent blog to offer ideas pertaining to the overall programming and operations of Country radio stations. A spirit we still embrace, we speak our mind with no political connections to Country Radio. Ironically, the first day we published was the last date of publication for Radio and Records. We honor the "bible of the industry" on FULL THROTTLE COUNTRY. We seldom discuss music and let most of the other on-line trades talk about the music and promotion process. We all know how that works and we represent the other areas of entertainment, show-biz and the contemporary positioning of Country Music Radio.
