Go east of downtown Memphis, and you’ll find Shelby Farms Park. Right next to the park is the transmitter for a Class C2 noncommercial serving the market with a 24/7 jazz format.
It’s a service provided by a university that, like several others in recent years, decided to sell its radio station.
In this case, however, jazz will live on, thanks to a partnership between the university and a local institution.
