The term "country and western" started back in the 1940's. You had such cowboy greats as Roy Rogers, Son's of the Pioneers, Tex Ritter, and Gene Autry. You also had country stars like Hank Williams, Sr., Eddy Arnold.
Country Music radio played country recording artists as well as the cowboy singers. Therefore, you got the term "country and western."
The term would stay around through the mid-1960's. However, cowboy music wasn't as popular as it once was, and radio stations no longer would play the western music. So, that's why you only have country music radio today, instead of country and western radio stations.
