Pure Country is a Canadianradio network, that airs on stations owned byBell Media.[1] Launched in 2019 as a unifying branding for all of the company'scountry-formatted stations across Canada,[2] the network broadcasts on eight stations nationwide, as well as on selecteddigital subchannels of radio stations in markets where the company offersdigital radio service but does not have a country-formatted primary station.
Weekday programming on the network consists of local hosts at each station in morning and afternoon drive, a national midday program hosted by Roo Phelps, and the syndicatedThe Bobby Bones Show in the evening.[1]CIMX-FM in Windsor also clearsBobby Bones in its standard morning time slot in lieu of a local morning show (it has not been cleared by any other country station in the neighbouringDetroit market).[1] On weekends,CKKL/Ottawa's morning hosts Sophie Moroz and Jeff Hopper host theiHeartRadio Pure Country Countdown, while the stations also air the syndicatedCountry Top 30 with Bobby Bones.[1]
In January 2020, the network'sstation in Kingston committed to playing a 50/50 balance of male and female country artists for one week, to draw attention to continued gender inequity in the music business.[3]
