In the wake of Country star JOE DIFFIE’s death YESTERDAY from CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) complications (NET NEWS 3/29), some radio syndicators and audio services are serving up tribute specials.
COMPASS MEDIA NETWORKS/SILVERFISH MEDIA’s syndicated BIG D & BUBBA have created a 55-minute DIFFIE special (in two segments with five minutes of local avails) featuring his greatest hits, plus remembrances from fellow country stars JASON ALDEAN, BRAD PAISLEY, JUSTIN MOORE, TRACY LAWRENCE, LEE BRICE and JOHN RICH. The special is available to any station with no network spots included and can run any time from TODAY through this weekend. Interested stations can reach out to COMPASS’ DOUG INGOLD here for download information.
COMPASS is also offering a 24-minute, six-song salute to DIFFIE put together by COMPASS syndicated Country personality ROWDY YATES, host of “The Original Country Gold.” The special, “ROWDY YATES Remembers,” is inventory free. Stations interested in airing it can send an email to INGOLD here.
