The Story
Throughout the documentary, viewers will learn about the primary hosts and team of the Power 92 radio station. It shares individual paths and what led them to becoming a family. For over 30 years, this station has served as the voice of the people, while serving the listeners across Arkansas. For almost 15 years, I have experienced their impact and learned the true power of radio. The Little Rock Nine and gang violence, has been one of the first thoughts that comes to mind, when the city of Little Rock is mentioned. The city has so much rich history and the Power 92 Jams radio station has been in the center of it.

Why Me?
Being a native of Arkansas and a resident of Little Rock, Arkansas for 14 years, allows me to provide a unique perspective of the station. In order to produce an authentic story about an individual/entity, it's important for the filmmaker to be aware of any potential bias. As an Arkansan and southern filmmaker, I'm able to provide a unique tone to the visual experience and uphold true cultural representation of this narrative.
Why This?
Urban radio stations have played a pivotal role within communities of color in the U.S, especially African American communities. For decades, Little Rock, Arkansas has been known for the historical Little Rock Nine and gang violence in the 90s. Little Rock has made great progress over the years and the Power 92 Jams radio station has been at the center of it all. This station is one of the few remaining live broadcasting urban radio stations in the country. Power 92 has proven to be more than a platform for music. They have become a true resource for the local community and the state of Arkansas.
Why Now?
As social media continues to be one of leading platforms in media and the podcast industry grows, Power 92 Jams has found a way to stand the test of time for over 30 years. This documentary will share the importance and impact of a high performing local live radio station. Southern stories need to be told and the 2x Marconi Award winning radio station's story will shed a positive light on the city of Little Rock, Arkansas.
