Southern Cross Austereo has added a new country-themed digital music station to its offering.
Triple M Country – a station featuring contemporary music by Australian and international country artists – will launch at midnight on February 1.

When is one of the networks going to launch a digital station that is completely different? There’s already a country station on digital. Add to that all of the old school and easy listening stations – it’s uninspiring.
Time for one of the networks to risk getting some new listeners by doing something different.
There were already two country stations on digital. This is one of those (in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide). The Range is now Triple M Country. There remains ABC Country everywhere, and Kix Country in Perth, Canberra and Darwin. There used to be The Buckle in all the major capitals as well.
I imagine people who like country music would say that all of them are special in their own way.
I dare say you could define genres that you would prefer to hear that there isn’t currently a station for. That is why there is Spotify and other options. But be sure to try Double J if you haven’t already.
