Citadel Media Networks' "American Country Countdown," has made some programming adjustments, beginning with this past weekend's show. The Kix Brooks-hosted program has dropped from 40 to 30 positions for its countdown, a move Citadel VP programming and distribution Bryan Switzer says came at the request of many of the show's affiliates, who were uncomfortable with the level of unfamiliarity the songs in the 30s had on their stations. The show remains four hours long, and the slots formerly occupied by song Nos. 31-40 are now being filled by past or recent hits of artists relevant to that week's countdown, Switzer says. Record labels were notified of the adjustment in advance, since some of their releases lost spins in the change. The show airs on more than 350 affiliates. The show's Web site will continue to list songs 31-40, and there will be additional new features added to the site in the coming weeks.
