Hot 88.7 Hip Hop from the Hill Top / Calls from Home continues the tradition of the Holler to the Hood hip hop and calls show that first began on WMMT over ten years ago. Hot 88.7 Hip Hop from the Hill Top is the only hip hop show we know of broadcasting from the coalfields of Central Appalachia. Hosted in turn by DJ Jewelz, DJ Sly Rye, DJ Izzy Lizzy and DJ Amelia, the show features the best of old school, new school, underground and southern hip hop, every Monday night from 7-9 pm. Following the hip hop show is WMMT’s Calls from Home. The show broadcasts messages from the friends and family members of those incarcerated in our region’s prison system. We record calls for the show every Monday night between 7-9 pm, and then broadcast the messages that same night from 9-10 pm. WMMT’s local radio signal reaches: United States Penitentiary Big Sandy in Inez, KY; Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright, KY; Wallens Ridge State Prison in Wise County, VA; Red Onion State Prison in Wise County, VA; Keen Mountain Correctional Center in Oakwood, VA; United States Penitentiary Lee in Lee County, VA; Wise Correctional Unit in Coeburn, VA, and many regional jails and detention centers. If you would like to leave a message for the show, please call: TOLL FREE 1-888-396-1208 on Monday Nights between 7-9 pm Eastern Time We request that all callers try to keep their messages to under 5 minutes. If you have any questions or would like more information about the show, you can write to Sylvia Ryerson at sylviar@appalshop.org, or call WMMT at 606-633-0108. Join us for a special broadcast on December 26 at 8 pm of Thousand Kites’ Holiday Edition of Calls from Home, a radio program that airs once a year on stations across the country, bringing families together over the airwaves as we send holiday greetings to incarcerated loved ones.
