We feature the biggest country songs and artists from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. We play songs that most country stations have stopped playing – but listeners still want to hear. We feature a live two hour bluegrass show every Saturday morning and a three hour gospel show every Sunday morning. We feature local songwriters twice a week. Every other minute of the day is dedicated to Johnny, Willie, Reba and Dolly and the like.
Kudzu 104.9 began life as Kudzu 102.3 in the 1990's. The station moved up the dial to reach a larger radius of listeners. In 2019 the station was purchased by JC Media, LLC owners Chris and Melinda Marsalis. They brought back the much loved Bluegrass show, expanded the Gospel Show and added a songwriter's showcase but were careful to keep the classic country music programming that is so loved by our listeners.
The Rollin' Hills Bluegrass Show, hosted by Brother Paul and Mike, airs live every Saturday morning from 8 am until 10 am. Paul Adams and Mike Garrett have been playing and following bluegrass for most of their lives. Their show is a combination of finely curated bluegrass music, information about upcoming live events, interesting information about the musicians that make up the show and an occasional clip from Jerry Clower. Past shows are housed in the podcast section of our mobile app and on our Sun Bear Studio YouTube page.
The Sunday Morning Gospel show has been a favorite of Kudzu listeners for thirty years. It was created by Kudzu's beloved Bud and Hazel Huddleston. The tradition is kept alive now by Tippah County native, Josh Sanderson. Josh's gospel show begins at 8 am and runs until 11 am every Sunday morning. It features two sermons and a Sunday School lesson interspersed between long sets of bluegrass, country and praise and worship gospel music. Josh keeps his listeners up to date with upcoming church and community events.
Twice a week our listeners get to hear original music from a local songwriter. The spotlights include a 30 second introduction by the songwriter followed by one of their songs. Spotlights happen every Tuesday at 2 pm and Sunday at 6 pm. If you would like to have your song considered, please contact us.
