We've partnered with KXT in Dallas, Texas, to swap five of each city's favorite bands and play them on the air.

Each night at 6:30 p.m., Mark Wheat will talk with KXT's Mark Abuzzahab and play one song from the Twin Cities and one from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Come back each day for free streams and downloads of the featured tracks!
