<p>As previously announced last week SLACKER RADIO last night (8/7) officially launched &#8220;Woman Crush Everyday&#8221; (#WCE), a channel devoted to, and curated by female Country artists. TUESDAY evening&#8217;s event was co-hosted by WME and CHANGE THE CONVERSATION, and featuring performances by NATALIE STOVALL, POST MONROE, and LAUREN DUSKI. In addition, the service has unveiled SLACKER Studio, a mobile app allowing hosts and contributors to remotely add music and commentary to SLACKER stations.</p>

<p>&#8220;We have amazingly talented women making music in NASHVILLE, and they deserve to be heard,&#8221; said SLACKER Country Format Captain JESS WRIGHT. &#8220;In 2017, more than 97% of the artists who appeared on the year-end Country Top 40 were male. This doesn&#8217;t reflect the quality of music created by women; it reflects a lack of support from the gatekeepers of Country music who believe that women have limited commercial appeal. I&#8217;m excited that, through SLACKER, we can bring the music of female Country artists directly to our audience, curated by the people who are most passionate about it &#8212; the women in NASHVILLE&#8217;s music industry.&#8221;</p>
<p>Added CMT SVP/Strategy LESLIE FRAM, a co-founder of CHANGE THE CONVERSATION, &#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled that there&#8217;s another platform to support female artists. Women have always been the cornerstone of Country music, and their voices need to be heard.&#8221; Listen to #WCE Country <a title="Click to open in a new window or tab
