WKNO

What's the best way to combat crime in Memphis and the Mid-South?

Eric Barnes, publisher of the Memphis Daily News, talks with Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich;  US Attorney for the western district of Tennessee Ed Stanton, III; and Bill Dries, reporter for the Memphis Daily News,  about the fight against crime in Memphis and Shelby County.

For a review of the top news stories of the week, you can tune in to Behind the Headlines Friday evenings at 6:30 on WKNO-TV 10. 

My mother introduced me to WKNO-FM and public radio long before I can remember. I suppose the first thing I really recall about WKNO-FM is that every afternoon, when my mother picked me up from school, the radio was tuned-in to The World, then All Things Considered, probably beginning around age 8. The way these reporters and hosts took you from the comfort of your mom's van to wherever in the world they were reporting from absolutely fascinated me. From then on, I was officially hooked.
