Brian Basher

Brian Basher isn’t just another voice on the radio — he’s been a relentless champion for hard rock and melodic rock for over 14 years, and his passion for discovering new music is as strong now as it was when he heard his first guitar riff in the ’70s and ’80s. Starting back in 1993 at a small AM/FM Country station in Arkansas, Brian quickly worked his way through bigger markets and multiple formats around the country. But it was in August 2010 when he truly found his calling, stepping behind the mic for Hard Rock Nights, a show that quickly gained a global audience across six continents.

For Brian, promoting rock isn’t just a gig — it’s a mission. He treats every new band and release with the respect it deserves, listening thoughtfully and going beyond the basic social media share. With his ear for talent and his dedication to keeping rock alive, Brian’s promotion of new hard rock is as professional as it gets. He’s not about recycling tired formats or playing it safe; Brian’s all about finding and introducing listeners to what’s next. His ability to unearth and promote the “New Sound of Classic Rock” is what sets WTYU.rocks apart from the noise.

Now, as Station Manager and Program Director at WTYU.rocks, Brian is building something special — a station dedicated to rock lovers who are passionate about discovering the next great band. It’s not about what’s already been done; it’s about creating something fresh, something you can’t hear anywhere else. Tune in and let Brian take you on a journey through the best new rock and metal that’s ready to break into your playlists.

Join Brian Basher every week on Hard Rock Nights and let him tune you into the future of rock!
