Premiere Networks announced that After MidNite with Granger Smith will once again offer a holiday treat for Country radio listeners with an exclusive Christmas special.
The four-hour program is titled After MidNite with Granger Smith Presents: A Smith Family Christmas Special. It features conversations with Country music stars, including Miranda Lambert, Cole Swindell, Zach Top, and Ella Langley. Smith and his guests share personal holiday memories, favorite gifts, and family traditions, with a mix of Christmas-themed and Country music.
Smith, host of Premiere Networks’ After MidNite and Mornings with Granger on iHeartCountry, brings music, storytelling, and personal insight to the holiday special. He also hosts the Granger Smith Podcast, regularly tops iTunes music charts, and shares family life through his YouTube series The Smiths.
Smith has spent 24 years as a platinum-selling, award-winning Country singer-songwriter. He built “Yee Yee Nation,” earning over 12 million social followers and one billion video views. He also runs Yee Yee Apparel and wrote the New York Times bestseller Like a River.
In 2023, Smith concluded his farewell Like a River tour and shifted his focus toward ministry. He now serves his local church under pastoral guidance while pursuing a Master’s degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Smith has also embraced public speaking and continues to connect with audiences through authorship and media appearances.
Unlike typical syndicated programming, the special is barter-free, allowing stations to air it without commercial restrictions. Affiliates and open markets can broadcast the program anytime from Dec. 17, 2025, through Jan. 4, 2026. If you are interested, contact affiliates@premierenetworks.com.
