All week long, Kix 101.1 aiming increase knowledge and inform everyone about the important role Agriculture plays in Iowa.
Welcome to The List,
When Cole Swindell took a knee to propose to his now-wife Courtney Little, you’d think the nerves would be about the big question, right? Nope..It was her father…They tied the knot last summer in a swoony little ceremony in Sonoma.

Morgan Wallen just dropped the news that his new album “I’m the Problem” comes out May 16th—because apparently, self-awareness is in this season. But wait—there’s more! He’s also launching “The Shop Sessions” on YouTube, where he performs acoustic versions of songs from the album in an old auto shop. Because nothing says heartbreak and horsepower like crooning next to a rusty carburetor. First one’s called “Just in Case,” and it's out now!

Kanye West is back on Twitter, proving once again that his fingers need a chaperone. He’s now accusing Taylor Swift of having flings with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Naturally, Taylor sent him a cease-and-desist, but that might just be the beginning. A source says Travis Kelce wants to handle things “man-to-man.” Translation: Travis is ready to turn Kanye into Yeezy pâté. This isn't drama anymore—it’s defamation, harassment, and one very bad idea away from a tight end takedown.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly investigating why Hollywood doesn’t love them. Because when in doubt, start your own royal detective agency. Apparently, missing out on an Emmy nomination was a huge blow, and they believe there’s a coordinated hate campaign. So they’ve called in the big guns—Oprah, Ellen, and probably Scooby-Doo—to crack the case. I mean, when the whole world’s a palace of haters, who else do you trust but daytime TV royalty?
You can catch The List, weekday afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Check out the video of him and his buddies!
