Pure Country (radio network)

Pure Country is a Canadian radio network, which airs on stations owned by Bell Media Radio.[1] Launched in 2019 as a unifying branding for all of the company's country-formatted stations across Canada,[2] the network currently airs on 13 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.

Weekday programming on the network consists of local hosts at each station in morning and afternoon drive, a national midday program hosted by Shannon Ella, and the internationally syndicated The Bobby Bones Show in the evening.[1] Sophie Moroz and Jeff Hopper, the morning hosts on the network's Ottawa station, also host a national country music chart show on weekends.[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]
