Nashville Public Radio's AAA WNXP (91.One)/Nashville names Justin Barney as Assistant Program Director and on-air duties, effective June 27. He succeeds Ayisha Jaffer, who is now with Minnesota Public Radio's AAA KCMP (89.3 The Current) in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Most recently, Barney was Music Director with AAA WYMS (Radio Milwaukee) in Milwaukee, where he spent 8 years.

"Justin Barney has proven himself as a powerhouse in the non-comm radio industry," said Jordan Lee, a longtime leader of Radio Milwaukee who is now with Paragon Media Strategies. "He is an accomplished Music Director. His programming skills are sharp. He is an incredible writer, and most of all, he is one of the best hosts on public radio today."

WNXP PD Jason Moon Wilkins stated, "This is a dream scenario. To have someone so passionate about public radio with such an accomplished skillset will help our station move forward with the mission to serve this community and its amazing music scene."

Barney stated, "I believe in WNXP's mission and team. I believe in connecting a community through music and stories. I'm a storyteller and I love music. WNXP has already done incredible work highlighting music and artists that aren't getting the attention they deserve. The station is setting the standard of blending music journalism with innovative radio. I can't wait to be a part of it."
