It's a Summer staple here in the Capital Region and an awesome weekly event: Alive At Five!

In this wild world of radio, vacations are few and far between. In fact, within my 13-year career, the only actual vacations I've taken, with the exception of a long weekend to Nashville, was to Florida. The time off is minimal, it has to be taken specific times of the year and when it happens it's either because you're sick or you're doing all of the stuff you've been putting off because you have

Country in 60 keeps you in the know. Don't you want to have all of the biggest country music headlines at your finger tips? Get it all in 60 seconds? That's what we're all about!

The owner is being labeled a hero online, which is probably not what you'd expect when you hear that an animal was abandoned. But, in this case it does seem to make sense.

They'll be at Countryfest 2017 with us on Saturday at the Schaghticoke fairgrounds. But, the last time they were hanging with us, we brought them to a pediatricians office for a Concert in a Cubicle. (Sorry to bring back any bad memories, guys!)

Whether you wanna go to a big city like Manhattan or Boston, or you wanna do something a little more specific like Cooperstown for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Harpursville for the Animal Adventure Park or Verona for Turning Stone Casino we have plenty to do within the area. But, what about the outdoor su

Chances are you've been celebrating all through the weekend, it's leaking into Monday, which may or may not be a "sick" day for you to lead into the actual 4th of July. But, while some just throw the radio on and hope for the best, or put their iPod on shuffle or let Pandora work its magic, wouldn't you rather have the ultimate Country Music Independence Day playlist?

Before you jump to conclusions, business is good. In fact, co-owners Chris Pratt and Alessio Depoli have said they've made money on the establishment. So, why sell?

There's nothing like the fear of missing out (FOMO.) Every single day it seems like we each get busier and busier. How can we every keep up with all of the country music news? What ever shall we do?!

How many times has this happened before? You go throw on your iPod and you're jammin' out to one of your favorite songs only to realize it's been a solid 20 years since its original release but it seems like only yesterday. Yup. All the time. That makes you feel pretty old, I'm sure, so these 10 things are sure to do the same. I shake my head and wonder, how?! Where has the time gone?! I mean, how

It is true, a new area code is going in place within the Capital Region very soon. Our beautiful 518 is now becoming the 518/838. The one thing I hadn't even thought of though is how this will affect any phone call we now make locally.
