Howdy! Rex here.
While the team and I spend the next few weeks putting together the final draft of RFJ, I'd like to take a moment to formally introduce you to Steve and ZQ The Lost Tracks of Rock and Roll!
Steve's a great guy who, like many of us, has a fondness for the one-and-only WZZQ, along with a deep understanding of the impact it had (and continues to have).
A few months back, I became aware of his internet radio venture, which pre-dates RFJ's test transmissions by a year and a half. This link takes you to the mission statement for his station.
Long story short, Steve and I have eerily similar philosophies about what radio can (and should) be. That said, with my deepest thanks to Steve, RFJ and ZQ are going to work together to serve a wide variety of listeners who crave something different. We're committed to giving local and regional musicians an outlet to share their talents.
For the next few weeks, you can hear ZQ The Lost Tracks of Rock and Roll on RFJ from 4 PM to 9 PM Monday through Friday, and Sundays starting at 5:00 PM!

We've set a date for the premiere of "The All-Time Tunes 'Til Two Top-50" ... which David Adcock, mere seconds into the special, clarifies as being *A* Tunes 'Til Two Top-50!  Have your listening devices ready to go Sunday morning April 5th at 8:00 AM!  We're working on prepping the tapes for broadcast, along with working on the station as a whole.
There's lots of excitement around here, and none of it would be possible without our Kickstarter Founding Supporters and the Sustaining Supporters who contribute via PayPal and Venmo.  THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generosity, and for your continued encouragement!

Ten days ago, the first chapter of Radio Free Jackson began.  To be honest, if the entire book were to consist of only five words - "Tunes 'til Two is back!" - I'd be quite satisfied.  As a nearly-middle-aged radio dork who has spent more than my fair share of time reading about radio across the country and around the world, seeing the reaction from listeners is nothing short of fascinating.  As a nearly-middle-aged man who listened to David Adcock as a child/young man, and also partook (Is that really a word?) of Sam's earlier, masterful revival of the show on another network, as they say in the industry... and was able to talk face-to-face with a listener on the night of the launch about how he listened to TTT that morning with his mom?  There are simply no words to describe how I felt, and continue to feel, other than, "WOULD Y'ALL PLEASE STOP CHOPPING ONIONS, I'M TRYING TO READ A COMPUTER MONITOR!?!"  Eternal shout-outs and finger-snaps to Sam for so graciously bringing his talent, knowledge, and spirit to RFJ.

I'm also touched beyond measure by the reaction we've received from a lot of local musicians who apparently share our vision that Spotify and SoundCloud and YouTube are nice and all, but that there's something missing from the equation.  The same thing goes for our Facebook family (Instagram and Twitter, we're coming for you eventually.) who have sent words of encouragement.  Also, once again, and forevermore, THANK YOU to those whose financial support made our launch possible.  If you're interested in supporting us financially (Thanks!), we have a PayPal account - paypal.me/rfjxn - every little bit helps.

Well, what's next?

We all work day jobs, so please bear with us if we're delayed a bit, but our goal is to be running a full daytime schedule by [REDACTED - LOL].  This doesn't mean that all of our programs will be in place, but hopefully a few of them will... and we'll have curated playlists throughout the day.  We want to bring you live concerts and recordings of performances, and we're already working out the details on how to make it happen.

Thanks again for your moral (and financial) support!

Browser-based listeners can access Radio Free Jackson via the player below!

Radio Free Jackson's soft launch is less than a week away, so you might want these!

iPhone/iPad App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radio-free-jackson/id1486589953
Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radio.m628b1fa6c&hl=en_US

In the App Store, you can search for "Radio Free Jackson".
For some reason, in the Google Play Store you must search for "radiofreejxn" .

We'll have an old-school browser-based player as soon as we migrate to our new site layout... hopefully by Thursday.  There's another trick up our sleeves, but we're waiting to test it first.  Stay tuned!

For the time being, we're airing a TEST TRANSMISSION, which is subject to change every day or so, or when we push the wrong button.

Thanks, as always, for your support of Radio Free Jackson!

Hey everybody,

We're excited to announce a FIRM launch date for Radio Free Jackson.

"Tunes 'Til Two with Sam Adcock" will be our first program, airing at 8 AM Sunday, November 17th!  Between November 1st and November 17th, we will have pre-launch content, allowing us time to get the feed and the app fully operational... it'll also give everyone time to download the app!

We appreciate your patience, as this is a bit later than we had hoped to launch. The delayed launch allows us to maximize our Kickstarter funds by optimizing licensing fees. Also, as much as we know that you'll have no trouble clicking a link on the website to get to a feed, we want to make sure our apps are in order before launch.

ONE MORE THING: If you haven't already figured it out, our new website is radiofreejxn.com

Thanks again for your support!
