Not intended for younger listeners
Real Music, For Real People
"At Northstar, we believe radio should be about the connection between the artist and the fan, not about quarterly earnings. We support our neighbors, and we don't let advertisers tell us what's 'country'."
— Hank "Honkytonk" Cash
Music Over Gimmicks
We don't host cheesy contests or offer lackluster prizes. We offer pure heart-driven Country Music not found on your normal mainstream radio.
Fan's Prayer
"Lord, give me a heart as open as a West Texas highway and a spirit as resilient as an old acoustic guitar."
"Today, help me find the harmony in the noise. When the world gets loud, let me hear the 'three chords and the truth'..."
Amen.
Uncut & Uncensored
Unlike mainstream radio, we are totally uncut. We aren't bound by corporate content policies that sanitize the soul of country music.
If a song has a story to tell—no matter how raw or gritty—we play it in its entirety. We believe in the artistic integrity of our musicians over the sensitivities of corporate sponsors.
Broadcasting Locally
Broadcasting from a local virtual studio in the capital city. No corporate overlords, just real voices and independent spirit.
