The List for Thursday September 3rd 2020

Welcome to The List –

Labor Day is just around the corner, and the Grand Ole Opry’s own network, Circle TV, will celebrate with a stacked lineup of country music-themed “Hard-Working Heroes.” Featured artists include Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Blake Shelton and many more. Labor Day programming kicks off at 7:00 a.m. ET with a 1980s-era episode of the classic country comedy show Hee Haw, featuring the late Charlie Daniels. To cap the night off, Blake will take the stage alongside Dustin Lynch and Trace Adkins. To learn more about the Grand Ole Opry’s “Hard-Working Heroes” event, visit Circle’s website.

Speaking of Labor Day and “Jobs” what are some of the worse jobs you’ve ever had? Here’s what Eric Church told me about his worst job… “I had an awful job. I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.

If you want to see the live action Disney movie ‘Mulan’ but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months. A help page on the Disney+ customer support website says that “Mulan” will be available for free to Disney+ subscribers starting on December 4. Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.

Carole Baskin will be one of the dancers on season 29 of Dancing With The Stars…She says she joined the cast because her life has been a nightmare since “Tiger King” premiered and tells us that while on the show she hopes the light that should have been shone on the cats during Tiger King will happen now. “Dancing With The Stars” returns September 14th.

You can catch The List Weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowas BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Friday, March 27th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood says her boys can sing, but she is not handing out tiny little record deals just because Mom can hit a note. Her oldest is already a mini-Carrie, super into music, but she says the music business can wait until he is older and knows who he is. One minute Mom is on stage in sequins, next minute she is making dinner like nothing happened. Country queen by night, casserole ninja by six.

Morgan Wallen says he is done hiding behind excuses, and that might be the most grown-up sentence he has ever said out loud. He told CMT that back then, there was always something to blame when things went sideways. Now he says if he messes up, it is on him. Accountability..

-----

Netflix just raised prices again, and at this point your streaming bill is starting to look like a car payment. The ad plan is now $8.99, standard is $19.99, and premium jumps to $26.99. Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to save money? Now we are all just paying cable prices with extra steps. Congrats, we played ourselves.

-----

The iHeartRadio Music Awards wrapped up last night, and if you are guessing who won everything, go ahead and say it with me. Taylor Swift. Again. Save everybody a few hours. Show up, wave, collect hardware, repeat.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
