Storme Warren

Warren came to the country music capital in 1993 and secured a position with Jim Owens & Associates, long-time producer of country music-related programming for TNN. As segment producer and on-air reporter for TNN, Warren shared his love of country music for the first time with national audiences, contributing to much of the network’s country news programming. Prior to the 2002 purging of all country-related offerings on TNN, Warren worked on such titles as TNN Country News, This Week in Country Music, Today’s Country, Music City Tonight and Crook & Chase.

In 2002, Warren teamed with veteran country artist managers Larry Fitzgerald, Mark Hartley and distinguished Nashville television producer Greg Travis in a unified effort to bring country music news back to national television. Their collaboration, Different Drummer Productions, LLC, partnered with GAC for Country Music Across America, which premiered on the country music channel on November 4, 2003.

Country Music Across America remains the only entertainment news program dedicated solely to country music, delivering a weekly digest of artist profiles and country news worldwide. As on-air host, Warren introduces emerging talent to the country music audience, and maintains the show’s fresh, personal appeal, which has resonated so well with its growing national and international fan bases.
