The List for Monday, April 19th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Congratulations to all of last nights ACM winners, the big winners of the night Female Artist of the Year Maren Morris, Male Artist of the Year Thomas Rhett and the big one Entertainer of the Year went to an obviously blindsided Luke Bryan who video chatted from L.A. “I go on stage every night, trying to be the best entertainer I can be.  Trying to make every body in the crowd in the room sing and love one another, have fun.  So, anytime the ACM’s recognizes me for that, it’s a dream come true.”

Gabby Barrett last night to performed her No. 1 single, “The Good Ones,” from Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe.  Taking home the ACM New Female Artist of the Year award.  She got the news of her award ahead of Sunday night’s show and celebrated the news in a decidedly lowkey way…after getting the news she went back and changed a dirty diaper from Baylah May who was born in January.  She’s getting ready to tour this August in support of Thomas Rhett’s Center Point Road Tour.

Alma Wahlberg, mother of actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, and a regular on the reality show “Wahlburgers,” has passed.  The news was shared on social media on Sunday by both Mark and Donnie on Instagram.  The Boston-born mother of nine became a household name thanks to her appearances on the A&E series “Wahlburgers,” about the family’s burgeoning burger chain…she was 78.

Are there changes coming to The Voice…again??  After being the resident country coach for 20 seasons is Blake thinking about moving on?  Fans seem to think so. Speculation has been swirling since an interview he did with Hoda Kotb on the TODAY show this month, when he admitted he hoped to leave the entertainment business behind and live a simple life with Gwen. When asked if he saw that happening in about 10 years, he said he’d like to see it sooner than later. The Voice airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC

You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Friday, February 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

-----

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

-----

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.

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