Ric Chetter started broadcasting an internet radio station in his living room in 2011. Radio Memphis, featuring music from independent artists in the Memphis area, now broadcasts from a former recording studio in the basement of an office building on Poplar Avenue. (Happy 10th Anniversary!) The Sunday night "Booze & Blues" show features live in-studio interviews and performances.
