98 Country is sending a limo full of listeners down to the Cities Thursday to attend the taping of an ABC television special. Though the details are hush, hush we do have an air date and also know that Rascal Flatts will tape Friday's show at the Xcel Energy Center for the special.

The taping is scheduled a week into the Flatts' spring tour (ha, spring!), and the group's Jay DeMarcus promises the show will be wired in more ways than one. "A lot of different artists say that they can't wait for some time off to kind of recharge their batteries," DeMarcus explains. "For me, it's kind of the opposite ... When I'm off the road, I kind of need to get back on the road to refuel [mine]."

Rascal Flatts: Nothing Like This Presented By JC Penney will air March 12 at 7pm on the network, which is also the close of the spring tour. Tune in and see if you can catch 98 Country listeners on TV!
