Memphis has a vibrant, people-powered media ecosystem.

With a wealth of public stations, today's conversation will dig into the framework of two stations making an impact on the community, WKNO FM and our very own host station, WYXR FM.

Joining us today are Jared "JB" Boyd and Charles McLarty.

He is co-founder of the non-profit free form radio station, WYXR 91.7 FM, where he serves as program manager.

He also performs as DJ Bizzle Blue Blend.

So Jared, we'll let you kick it off.

Let's get right back into it, Denny.

We were last talking, we were finishing up talking about sort of a look at downtown and, you know, the way that places like the Orpheum, the Memphis Arts Museum, or the arts community and Business is kind of has turned over a little bit of a new leaf.

Thanks for joining us and be sure to start your day here again tomorrow.

So let's talk about your collaboration, JB.

You and Robbie co-founded WYXR 91.7 FM in Memphis, keeping the flame of great music burning bright.

Yeah, it's been an incredible honor to work alongside Robbie and under his tutelage.

We brought the station to life and breathed quite a bit of fresh air, if I must say, into the Memphis radio landscape.
