Synopsis

Deejay Star Bennett's radio station is changing, and not for the better. KZTH is making the switch from an alternative, hip haven to a corporate commodity and Star Bennett needs to get out. Tina Meinen, Star's obsessed fan and KZTH intern, doesn't understand why her favorite Deejay wants to leave radio. Tina kidnaps Star so they can make one last mix tape whether Star wants to or not. JO FM explores what happens to a radio DJ and an obsessed fan as their city's top rock station transitions to a corporate pop, hit machine.
