Since the launch of our digital station – Maria Jackson Radio – in 2018, we’ve only been using the playlist feature. This means that there were no actual shows on the channel, only an auto DJ. We are now happy to announce that as of April, 2021 that will change!
Effective immediately a long time member of our team, Lafayette Hamilton (publicly known as DJ Solo), will be acting as the station’s Director of Operations and will be bringing a slew of new, live programs to the platform. He will also have his own show, called SOLO MOTION on Saturdays from 10 PM to 12 AM EST.
DJs interested in getting a show on the station should send an email to music@mjent.net to be connected with Solo.
