After decades on-air with 88.5 FM, Ken Wiley, our longtime host of The Art of Jazz, has decided the time is right to retire. We're sad to say farewell, but wish Ken a long and happy retirement. -
KNKX is indefinitely pausing our activity on Twitter as we evaluate the platform’s stance toward independent, nonprofit news organizations like NPR.
