The Neal Deal: Infinity syndicated host Katie Neal is joining Lon Helton's Country Countdown USA as permanent guest host. "CCUSA has been on the air for 33 years," says Helton. "Whenever I’ve been out, we’ve always asked an artist to join our artist co-host. But the time has come for one of today’s top broadcast talents to fill in for me when needed. Katie’s rapport and respect for Country artists, stellar interviewing skills and warm, conversational style make her the perfect person for this new role." Helton has hosted CCUSA since its inception. Neal joined Audacy WNSH/New York in 2013 and launched her national midday show in 2020 (CAT 9/11/20). Reach Helton here; Neal here. Affilliation info here.
