The all-out blitz to make NASH the biggest brand in Country radio continues. Cumulus' NASH Campus includes three studios designed for a combination of TV and radio programming, indoor and outdoor event space, a print newsroom, and office space. Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said, "We designed the NASH Campus to inspire and support the creation of a full-spectrum of Country content. This new state-of-the-art facility will enable us to power NASH's multimedia platforms and secure its position as the nation's preeminent lifestyle and entertainment brand for country music fans."
The campus is currently home to "America's Morning Show," "NASH Nights Live with Shawn Parr," "American Country Countdown with Kix Brooks," "Kickin' It with Kix" and "Country Weekly" (soon to be renamed NASH) magazine. All NASH Campus programming originates from studios equipped with state-of-the-art ORAD voice-activated HD cameras that enable online streaming, HD taping, and live television broadcasting.
Cumulus launched the NASH brand in 2013 starting with flagship NASH FM 94.7 in New York City. All 68 Cumulus-owned Country stations are "Powered by NASH" and programming from the NASH campus currently airs on more than 400 radio stations nationwide. More than 1,200 Country stations nationally have access to NASH content through WestwoodOne, the wholly owned subsidiary of Cumulus that handles content distribution. Cumulus is also an investor in digital audio provider radio, which will soon announce dedicated NASH programming. NASH will also include live events, consumer products, and television programming.
