Garth Brooks and TuneIn have ended their three-year radio partnership in The Sevens Network that provided live, free radio stations including The BIG 615, Tailgate Radio and The Garth Channel to listeners worldwide. The move comes on the heels of TuneIn’s 2025 acquisition by the Stingray Group (CAT 11/12/25). The Garth Channel and Tailgate Radio will sign off tomorrow (9/22). The BIG 615 will continue broadcasting through the end of the year under the TuneIn platform, but will no longer feature an affiliation with Brooks or the Sevens Network. TuneIn and Brooks partnered to launch Sevens in 2023 (CAT 5/9/23), staffing up shortly thereafter (CAT 6/1/23). No word yet on how the partnership dissolution will affect staff.
Says Brooks, "The Stingray family has been fantastic in the transition along with TuneIn's people. We couldn't be happier with the three years we have spent with them and wish them well on their future endeavors and hope we cross paths in the future."
