Radio Reacts To ACM: Our Country
In a world of coronavirus and social distancing, the Academy
of Country Music and Dick Clark Productions were forced
to postpone the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards until
September (CAT 3/16) but embraced the opportunity to debut
an at-home special, ACM Presents: Our Country last night
(4/5) at 8pm ET on CBS (CAT 3/19). Country programmers
and personalities were tuned in and shared their thoughts with
Country Aircheck following the broadcast.
iHeartMedia KSD/St. Louis APD/MD/afternoon personality
Dusty Panhorst: “I’m a huge fan of stripped down, acoustic
performances, and I loved how each artist
did more than just performing a song. They
spoke from their heart and helped us forget
about everything for a little bit; we all needed
that. Charles [Kelley] and Dave [Haywood of
Lady Antebellum] with their kids jumping in the
video was a favorite moment for me, because
that is all of us right now. Luke Combs was
amazing, as were Old Dominion, Eric Church Sipping Lemonade: Academy of Country Music board executive
