  The radio shows

Garner's programs focus on country music hits, along with recent music news and chat about pop culture. In addition, Blair is recognized as one of Nashville's best interviewers. Country Music's top stars, including Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and Reba McEntire have made it a point to appear on Blair's show to promote their projects. Garner has also interviewed stars outside of Nashville, including Kevin Costner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lionel Richie, Henry Winkler, Joan Rivers, Kathy Lee Gifford, and WWE and UFC superstars such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena and Brock Lesnar.

The Blair Garner Show and After MidNite with Blair Garner are syndicated nationally by Premiere Radio Networks. Both programs are nearly identical to each other in every manner except for name. After MidNite is heard on about 250 affiliates across the United States, while the Blair Garner Show airs in Canada and thus has some music substituted for Canadian content. The After MidNite portion of the show is currently heard on the WSIX-FM simulcast on Sirius XM Radio.
