The Country Radio Broadcasters, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization founded in 1969 by Tom McEntee. CRB is the principal entity that brings Country radio together with the Country music industry for learning opportunities that promote growth.

All major radio groups, both Country music trade organizations, all three music licensing organizations, as well as independent industry professionals are involved in CRB activities.

The CRB is not a membership organization, and so, therefore does not collect dues. It relies on proceeds from its' initiatives for funding. The CRB accepts donations, which can be directed for a specific purpose, such as the Country Music Disc Jockey and Radio Hall of Fame, or the CRB Scholarship Fund.

Country Radio Broadcasters, Inc. Initiatives include:

The Country Radio Seminar (CRS)
One of the largest media gatherings of any kind, each spring this Nashville convention and trade show brings together nearly 1,000 delegates from Country Radio with 1,000 music industry professionals for three days of "growth through sharing." Radio attendees include Program Directors, General Managers, Promotion Managers, Sales Executives and Air Talent.

The CRB Spring Town Meeting

New Faces of Country Music
Each year, the CRB surveys CRS radio station attendees to determine the most promising artists of that year. This is often the very first national honor that a Country artist receives.
