Planet Country is a dual music radio and video talk show hosted by Big Stu and MJ. The radio show made its debuted on 5 June 2014. Originally airing on community radio station Alive 90.5 FM from 6 pm to 7 pm,[2] the show moved to neighbouring station SWR Triple 9 FM in April 2018.

The move to SWR Triple 9 also saw the radio show move into live video broadcasting through Facebook. The radio show was airing simultaneously on radio and Facebook live. Music continued to air on radio while Facebook received 'off air' behind the scenes talk with studio guests.[3]

During its original run on radio, the program saw syndication on The Wolf Australia[4] and Hawkesbury Gold 89.9 FM.[5]

On 15 April 2019, Planet Country went to air for its 250th episode of the show.[6] The following month however saw the radio show be placed on hiatus for personal reasons (see below).


Alive 90.5 (2014–2018)

The show made its debut on 5 June 2014 at community radio station Alive 90.5 FM, airing on Thursdays from 6 pm to 7 pm.[2]

While at Alive 90.5, the program begun live syndication and airing replays on internet radio station, The Wolf Australia.[4]

The show departed Alive 90.5 in April 2018 to join neighbouring community station SWR Triple 9 FM. Following the move, Big Stu begun presenting a spin-off program on Alive 90.5 in the original time slot called 'Big Stu's Country Universe'.[7] MJ also continued at Alive 90.5, working as a board member and the chair of the station's Digital Content Committee.[8] The program ran until the end of 2018 and MJ remained on the board until April 2018.

SWR Triple 9 (2018–2019)

The radio show moved to SWR Triple 9 in April 2018, broadcasting on 99.9 FM to the Sydney metropolitan every Monday night from 6 pm to 8 pm local time.[1] The move to SWR Triple 9 saw the show extended by an hour to a 2-hour[9] time slot and experiment with a simultaneous live video format.

The move from Thursdays on Alive 90.5 to Mondays on SWR Triple 9 allowed MJ to undertake studies at the Australian Film Television Radio School.[10]

On 25 June 2018, Hawkesbury Gold 89.9 FM begun syndicating Planet Country on Tuesday afternoons from 4 pm.[5]

Hiatus (2019–2020)

On 6 May 2019, Big Stu & MJ announced a temporary hiatus of the show so MJ could take up work in commercial radio, as the new Breakfast Announcer at 93.5 Eagle FM in Goulburn.[11]

Planet Country returned for one pre-recorded episode[12] later in the month before returning to hiatus. It was revealed on their website that a family member of the hosts suffered a medical emergency and as a result the show would continue on hiatus.[13] The show remained on hiatus until May the following year when they returned for a live video special.

Live at the Ranch (May 2020)

Big Stu & MJ returned for a one-off live video talk show on 16 May 2020, close to a year since the hiatus began. The show was presented at 'The Ranch', a video production facility in south-west Sydney. This video special followed a similar format to the SWR Triple 9 radio show. Audio from the live video was simulcast on The Wolf Australia.[14] No plans for a full-time return have been confirmed.

Commercial Radio

The show entered a broadcast hiatus when co-host MJ moved into commercial radio. Between 2019 and 2021 he hosted the Breakfast show on 93.5 Eagle FM in Goulburn.[11] In 2021 he was the Production Manager at 2CC and 2CA in Canberra.[15] Since 2022 he has been the Workday Announcer & Operations Manager at 96.5 Wave FM in Wollongong.[16]

On demand

Full episodes of Planet Country can be streamed on demand through podcasting platforms spotify,[17] iHeartRadio,[18] iTunes,[19] Tune In[20] and Spreaker.[21]

Music for a New Generation Awards

Planet Country present their own awards program called the 'Music for a New Generation Awards', colloquially known as 'The M-Fangs'. The awards recognise modern crossover country artists for their efforts throughout the year. The awards have run annually every December since 2015.[22]

The first year of the awards was 2015 and featured 7 categories with finalists and winners chosen by Big Stu and MJ.[23] The awards are split into International industry and Australian industry categories. Eligibility is based on where an artist primarily tours or promotes themselves. For example, Keith Urban is placed in the International industry despite his Australian nationality.

In 2016, the awards continued with the addition of an 8th category (New Artist of The Year was split into International and Australian) and the addition of two fan voted categories: Fan's International Artist of The Year and Fan's Australian Artist of The Year. Keith Urban and Troy Kemp won each vote respectively.[24]

In 2017, the award process was reversed with 8 categories all becoming fan voted and the introduction of two 'Impact Award' categories being awarded by Big Stu and MJ. The two Impact Award categories were 'Industry Impact Award' and 'Media Impact Award'.[25]

In 2018, the awards continued as is but with the 'New Artist' categories renamed to 'Emerging Artist'.[26] The 2018 awards were the final awards to be given out to date, due to the show's hiatus between 2019 and 2020.

The trophy won by award winners is dubbed the 'shattered CD'. A metaphor for crossover artists revolutionising country music and the compact disc becoming out-dated technology.

As of the 2018 awards, the categories and winners are:
