Meet The Founder - Stephen Keogh
Country Hits was founded by award-winning Irish broadcaster Stephen Keogh, bringing together more than 35 years of radio experience and a lifelong passion for American country music.
Stephen's broadcasting career has taken him through some of Ireland's best-known radio stations, including Today FM, Dublin's Q102, FM104, Midlands 103 and Kfm. He is currently Programme Director and presenter of The Lunchtime Show on Tipp FM.
His passion for country music led to the launch of The American Country Show on Kfm in 2009, which subsequently expanded to other radio stations and television on Keep It Country TV.
In 2015, The American Country Show with Stephen Keogh won Gold for Specialist Music Programme at the PPI Radio Awards (now the IMRO Radio Awards).
A decade later, Stephen added another major accolade when The Lunchtime Show on Tipp FM won Silver for General Music Programme at the 2025 IMRO Radio Awards.
Stephen launched Country Hits in 2019 with a simple ambition: to create a radio station dedicated to playing the biggest country hits from the '90s to Now.
Combining his extensive programming experience with a genuine love of the music, Stephen has personally developed the station's sound, music selection, imaging and programming.
But the inspiration behind Country Hits goes back much further.
Where It All Began
"It all started with Reba McEntire back in the '90s. I fell in love with country music and its incredible storytelling, and I've been hooked ever since. Country Hits is my way of sharing that passion with listeners every day."
— Stephen Keogh
From the legends of country music to today's biggest stars, Country Hits reflects Stephen's belief that great country music deserves a dedicated home on Irish radio.
