Wednesday's radio/TV interviews

Another busy day's ahead! Bucky will be visiting the KKBQ 93 Q Morning Zoo in Houston; the show runs from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Central, but there's an excellent chance that someone at the Fox boards will have the first word on when Bucky's due to be interviewed. (We'll be here later this morning as well, so c'mon back--and if you oversleep, you may be in luck, as the show seems to have a penchant for archiving celebrity visits...)

Edited at 10: 20 am ET to add a link to the morning show thread at the Fox boards; so far, we haven't heard a peep about Bucky on KKBQ. Was he on during the 5 a.m. hour? Fingers crossed for an update soon...

Bucky's official site has this evening's KILT American Idol viewing party listed as a contest-winners-only event, but the KILT website reads as follows:

100.3 KILT invites you to join us and Bucky Covington for an American Idol viewing party this Wednesday night! Bucky was one of last year's finalists and we're bringing him to the Armadillo Palace to sing some of his new songs, sign autographs and watch Idol. It's free and open to the public.

The Armadillo Palace is located at 5015 Kirby Drive, just a couple of blocks from Highway 59. The party starts at 6:30pm - we'll see you there!

(My advice? I'd say if you're in the Houston area, the Armadillo Palace looks like the place to be this evening--and if you're there enjoying a free Bucky Covington show, you're pretty much a winner by any definition of the word...)

(Edited 1:41 a.m.--the announcement of this Big Story TV segment no longer appears on Bucky's official site as of this post. Stay tuned for news of a possible rescheduling--Winnie.) If you're not in the Houston area, you can still enjoy Bucky this evening through the magic of television; he'll be appearing on Fox News Channel's Big Story with John Gibson at 5 p.m. ET to chat about life after Idol, his debut single "A Different World" and his eagerly-anticipated 4/17 CD. It's fairly safe to assume we'll get a few more snippets of the upcoming music video for "A Different World". The bits that aired on Memphis' WHBQ-TV caused quite a happy buzz Tuesday evening--can't wait to see the whole thing. (Again, be sure to check the Big Story page and Bucky's official site for possible changes. It'll be well worth waiting for, whenever it's aired!)

A gentle reminder--Bucky's bubbling just under the Mediabase Top 40 as of this writing, and his single needs our help to cross that all-important line. Besides putting in a request to the kind folks at country@wkml.com for tonight's WKML "Top 5 at 6", consider calling your local country station and/or contacting your favorite "adopted" streaming station and requesting "A Different World" today. Imagine how much fun it'll be to hear Bucky on those national country countdown shows next week...

Speaking of charts, don't miss Kathy's Team Covington blog--there's a nice helping of news from Sirius New Country 60 you're sure to enjoy.

See you later today!
