Ilyse Jennings
RVA After Dark
7pm - 11pm
MON-SAT
If the name Ilyse Jennings sounds familiar, it may be because she has been part of the Richmond media community ever since she joined XL102 as Program Director in 1980. She has been on air or part of the sales team at Lite 98, B103, K95, WRVA, Smooth Jazz and Richmond Magazine. Though software sales eventually replaced media sales, music has always been a key focus for Ilyse, and being back behind the microphone is the best kind of coming full circle. Spotlighting local talent, providing a musical backdrop for your nights and unwinding with just the right jams…all part of Richmond After Dark.
