Currently hosted by Fitz, the program is distributed by Skyview Networks and produced as a joint venture between Hubbard Broadcasting and KCCS Productions, the holding company operated by Kingsley's widow.
On October 9, 2019, Kingsley announced his departure from the show to undergo treatment for bladder cancer, hoping to return if his health permitted.
In the interim, he formed an agreement with the Country Music Association to provide guest hosts for the program, all of whom would be women, through the November 30 - December 1, 2019 episode.
(It had been his practice when he hosted American Country Countdown beginning in 1986 when ACC went from a three-hour to a four-hour program.)
The countdown itself features the top 40 country songs of the week, played in ascending order starting with #40 and ending with #1.
