North Omaha’s Newest Radio Station Hosts Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

There is a new radio sound pulsating the city of Omaha and throughout the world. In celebration, KXNB/KJSO – Mind & Soul 101.3 FM (www.mindandsoul1013fm.org) held an official ribbon cutting in partnership with the radio station hosts, the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation and Love’s Jazz & Arts Center. Currently housed on the birth site of the iconic Malcolm X at 3448 Evans Street, this ceremony was held on January 14.

Event highlights also included tours, along with the opportunity to meet sponsors, program staff, radio show hosts, and learn more about the future of this community-operated, listener-supported radio station. Special guests in attendance included elected city officials and family members of the late Rowena Moore and Charles Park, Sr.

This unique partnership has never been done before and aims to bridge the gap between the North Omaha’s grassroots efforts and the historic near Northside area. Radio content includes music covering soul, jazz and classic hip hop genres along with talk shows for the mind and soul, covering local and national news.

Radio talents include Program Director Paul B. Allen IV, Michael Scott, Michelle Troxclair, Angel Martin and Reggie Clark. The featured radio shows currently on air include a news-centered daily morning show from 7-9 a.m., Monday-Friday. In addition, on Thursday nights from 6-10 p.m., listeners can tune in to Funky Thursdays, playing funk and soul music with local musician features live on air.
