County Line was the first Canadian program syndicated with a Christian Country format. Initiated in 1988, and hosted by Les Roberts a psuedonym of Rob Green, the program met with initial success from country stations who previously had only southern gospel programs to choose from for their Sunday public service commitments.

The program was renamed Gospel Country in 1995, at which time it was running worldwide. It remains broadcasting weekly today around the world, having celebrated it's anniversary in October 2008 -- making 26 years of non stop weekly Christian msuic programming by Rob Green.
