Country Weekly (known as Nash Country Weekly from 2015-16) was an American magazine about country music. It was in circulation between April 1994 and May 2016. The publisher, Cumulus Media, now maintains the site Nash Country Daily.

Overview

[edit]

The magazine was established in 1994 by American Media, Inc.[3] It focused on country music stars and events, and regularly featured exclusive interviews with recording artists and country music news.[4] Country Weekly also cosponsored the CMT/TNN Country Weekly Music Awards, at the time the only nationally televised country music awards show that allowed fans to vote for the winners.[5]

In February 2009, Country Weekly reverted to a weekly magazine, having been issued fortnightly since 1999. The magazine also dropped subscriptions at that point (which it later reinstated), and changed its logo.[6] Cumulus Media acquired Country Weekly in 2014.[7] The magazine was renamed Nash Country Weekly in June 2015, as a means of co-branding with Nash FM.[8] Nash Country Weekly closed its print publication in April 2016.[9]

On May 6, 2016, Cumulus launched Nash Country Daily as an online media site.[10][11]
