A little girl from Monroe is making a name for herself with her own internet radio show that broadcasts worldwide. The 6th grader has a lot of personality and some broad ambitions, twice a week you can get a taste of "Kids Country" by logging on line.

Maty Eitner gives tips of advice during her show, "Suck it up sunshine and do what you're told and you parents remember us kids are going to be pushing around your wheel chairs and picking out your nursing homes." It is hard to believe that not too long ago Maty Eitner was shy but love for her sick pony changed all that. "Wrote a song about him and sent it to David James and he made it into a song," Maty explains.

Then, through myspace.com she started corresponding with deejay Kevin Nixa of the Nixa Country music website and he offered to give Maty her own radio show.

Now she's recording her ninth "Kids Country" radio show in her studio next to the family living room. "The show is a hour long and in the show I pretty much talk about the kids and like play their songs pretty much get them promoted and stuff." Maty hopes to help other kids gain confidence by playing their music.

Bobbie Eitner, Maty's mother says it, "gives them support and great airtime then let them be heard and even if they're not so good it gives them such great backing and encouragement." It is an admirable endeavor, and her mother says she doesn't mind helping out, despite the long hours.

You can hear Maty's Kids' Country Show on NixaCountry.com Thursdays at 4 pm and Saturdays at 10 am. For more information on Maty's show log on to www.myspace.com/nixacountry
