History

Café Nashville launched in March 2008 on WKDF in Nashville, Tennessee by partners Jody Van Alin, Marvin Baker & Ann Gillis. As the show grew in North America and Europe, the partners formed ONAir Broadcasting, LLC. to expand Café Nashville into a 24/7 satellite feed as an owned and operated radio channel on AMC 8 distributed by Orbital Media Networks.

Since its inception in 2008, Café Nashville has garnered international audiences in North America and throughout Europe. Café Nashville Radio is a respected program in the country music industry.

Café Nashville radio show is one of very few national radio shows to be self-syndicated. The program is not connected to any national network or programming service, and is distributed directly to local stations. Café Nashville Radio one hour show is sent to the radio stations via a FTP link, but it’s also fed to stations 24/7 via satellite, so radio stations do not have to record the show for later broadcast, but rather they can use the satellite feed. The show is distributed over Orbital Media Networks.

On October 1, 2014, Café Nashville launched a night time show which airs from 7 pm to 1 am. The first affiliate was WTGE in Baton Rouge & Lafayette, LA. WTGE previously broadcast Lia's night time show in the same time slot.
