July 20, 2013 There’s always some less-than-thrilling things that happen each week, whether it’s across the country, down to Music City in Nashville, or right here in our WNY backyards.
Here’s this week’s rundown

Country artists and other celebrities are reacting to the Rolling Stone cover story featuring the Boston bomber. The magazine is on the receiving end of quite a bit of criticism for its choice to stick an alleged terrorist on its front cover.

July 12, 2013 There’s always some less-than-thrilling things that happen each week, whether it’s across the country, down to Music City in Nashville, or right here in our WNY backyards. This week country music was pumping out the ugly news left and right.
Toby Keith's Oklahoma Twister Relief concert was a huge success, with emotionally-charged performances buoyed by a collective effort to help out victims of the deadly May tornadoes in the Sooner state. Country fans did their part in showing up to the event, breaking attendance records at Oklahoma University’s Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday (July 6).
July 11, 2013 It is the one thing that I brag about most: The listeners that we have in Western New York are extremely loyal and generous!
The results are in, and WYRK/Townsquare Media's "Pennies From Heaven" initiative raised over $8,000!! The money will be passed along to the victims of the violent tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma back in May.
