Chris Country is a UK-based radio station playing country music.
Chris Country is currently available in four areas of the UK. The station's first carriage agreements were on three of Ofcom's trial of small-scale DAB multiplexes - Manchester, Portsmouth and Cambridge. On 11 March 2016 the station launched on the London 2 (Switch) DAB multiplex. A month later the station launched on the North East Wales DAB multiplex but left this multiplex on 2 August 2016.
Most of the station's output is automated although Chris Country broadcasts country countdown programmes from America, including Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40, and also airs weekly UK-based presenter-led programming. Chris Country also broadcasts hourly news summaries from Radio News Hub.
