Pure Country is a Canadian radio network, that airs on stations owned by Bell Media.[1] Launched in 2019 as a unifying branding for all of the company's country-formatted stations across Canada,[2] the network broadcasts on nine stations nationwide, as well as on selected digital subchannels of radio stations in markets where the company offers digital radio service but does not have a country-formatted primary station.

Programming

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 syndicated The Bobby Bones Show in the evening.[1] CIMX-FM in Windsor also clears Bobby 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 neighbouring Detroit market).[1] On weekends, CKKL/Ottawa's morning hosts Sophie Moroz and Jeff Hopper host the iHeartRadio Pure Country Countdown, while the stations also air the syndicated Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones.[1]

In January 2020, the network's station 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]
