The prize package for KJ97 includes a “red carpet” event for their listeners which will be attended by Underwood and the video clip’s award-winning director, Randee St. Nicholas. Among the hundreds of country radio stations that participated, KJ97 had the largest amount of listeners who voted for their station to win this event.

“Be it raising tons of money for the Kids of St. Jude or helping to bring the biggest stars to KJ Country, our listeners have ALWAYS been up to the challenge,” enthuses Travis Moon, Program Director, KAJA, San Antonio. “I am so proud to work at KJ97, a radio station with such active and passionate listeners. This is THEIR event!”

“Blown Away,” the second single release from Carrie’s 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville new album of the same title, was written by Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins. Kear and Tompkins co-penned her smash hit, “Before He Cheats,” which held the country radio No. 1 for five consecutive weeks and was certified Triple Platinum by the R.I.A.A. for sales in excess of 3 million downloads.

PD Moon adds, “‘Blown Away” is such a dynamic and powerful song that throws the spotlight on KJ97 every time we play it. It’s one of Carrie’s best performances and one of the best songs of the year!”
