Garth Brooks is bringing his favorites in the country music world to the radio in a big way as he makes a special announcement bolstered by some of his "friends in low places."
The singer-songwriter, 61, announced on Thursday the launch of The BIG 615 radio station, which will stream on global live radio service TuneIn.
The station will be curated by the singer himself, who will be providing a selection of some of his favorite tracks to add to the rotation, from classics to new releases.

However, the most special among them was his wife, fellow country music legend Trisha Yearwood, who even said in her video message that she was "so proud" of her husband for his new adventure.
The station's main base will be in Music Row, Nashville, considered the "heart" of country music, with the name BIG 615 itself being an homage to the Tennessee capital often dubbed "Music City."
"The BIG 615 station is purely for the love of country music," the No Fences hitmaker continued. "We lean a bit more traditional at The BIG 615.
"We are proud of how the station sounds and want the entire world to hear what we think is the greatest format of all…Country Music."

The news comes not long after the singer caused a stir with another one of his latest forays, when he shared the news that his upcoming Nashville bar, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, would serve all kinds of beer.

However, Garth doubled down on the decision in his "Inside Studio G" livestream on Monday, saying: "Diversity, inclusiveness: that's me! That's always been me.

I understand that might not be other people's opinions, but that's OK, man. They have their opinions, they have their beliefs. I have mine."
