Mainstream Country (Local Version) (formerly known as Country Today) is a 24-hour music format produced by Dial Global, and formerly by Waitt Radio Networks and then by the now-defunct Dial Global Local. Its playlist is composed of country music released from the 1990s through the present from artists such as Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, George Strait, Lady Antebellum, Kenny Chesney, etc. that mainly targets listeners in the mainstream demographic area ages 18–34 and 25-44 in the active country demographic range.
In June 2012, due to reorganizations at Dial Global, the Dial Global Local 24/7 formats were fully integrated into Dial Global's portfolio of formats, and "Dial Global Local" ceased to exist as a brand name. However, most of the former Dial Global Local formats are still offered to affiliate stations in the same manner in which they were previously offered. Country Today is no longer offered under that name, but continues as a Local version of Dial Global's Mainstream Country format.

It is without grace.
