Nashville Radio: Bobby Bones To Remain With CCM+E

Bobby Bones
UPDATE SATURDAY AM:  On Thursday, Bobby Bones tweeted that he was considering another job offer outside of radio. At the time, he indicated he'd announce his decision Monday.  However a day later, on Friday, the host of The Bobby Bones Show let listeners know that he’s staying with CCM+E's WSIX in Nashvillle and would continue his syndicated morning show.

When Bones sent his original tweet, his email, phone and social media accounts blew up. Listeners didn’t want him to leave, some thought it was all a hoax or ratings stunt, others were concerned about his crew losing their jobs.
By Friday, Bones had recorded a video, which was uploaded to YouTube. In the video, Bones explains that he flew to Los Angeles Friday morning to discuss the other job offer, which was in television, but after much consideration he has decided to stay with The Bobby Bones Show.

He stated that there is much more coming up with the iHeart festival and though he didn’t elaborate, other tv options as well.
