Nash Country Weekly was an American lifestyle weekly magazine about country artists and their music. It was in circulation between April 1994 and May 2016.

Overview[edit]

The magazine was established in 1994 by American Media, Inc..[3][4] It focused on country music stars and events, and regularly featured exclusive interviews with recording artists and country music news.[5] Country Weekly also cosponsored the CMT/TNN Country Weekly Music Awards, at the time the only nationally televised country music awards show that allowed fans to vote for the winners.[6]

In February 2009, Country Weekly reverted to a weekly magazine, having been issued fortnightly since 1999. The magazine also dropped subscriptions at that point (which it had since reinstated), and changed its logo.[7] Cumulus Media acquired Country Weekly in 2014.[8] The magazine was renamed Nash Country Weekly in June 2015, as a means of co-branding with Nash FM.[9] Nash Country Weekly closed its print publication in April 2016.[4][10]
