WEVL Voted Best FM Station Two Years Running
For the second straight year, WEVL has been voted "Best FM Station" in the Memphis Flyer Best of Memphis Readers' Poll. And our own Joyce Cobb came in second in the "Best Local Singer" category.
"Blues, rock, world, bluegrass, folk, R&B, electronica, jazz, swing, and country: You name the music, WEVL, the Mid-South's only listener-supported, independent radio station, plays it--and has for 32 years. WEVL's volunteer deejays know the score: What they air they program themselves. Hear the difference. Flyer readers do. So does singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo, who's playing a WEVL benefit at the Hi-Tone on October 27th."
