Eleven years ago, community champion Debra Hensley rallied a small group of neighbors around a simple idea:

Lexington deserved its own voice on the airwaves.

Not a corporate voice. Not a distant one. The real thing. Neighbors talking to neighbors. Local voices telling stories that matter. Not just in English, but in Spanish too.

That idea became RADIOLEX. Then it became something bigger. Today MEDIALEX is a platform for anyone with a story worth telling. Across radio, podcasts, video, local news, and digital media. No experience required. No barriers to entry.

People come to MEDIALEX to host shows, share music, interview neighbors, talk about issues affecting their communities, and report stories that wouldn’t be heard anywhere else.

Over our 11 years on the air serving the community, our volunteers have produced syndicated radio programs, award-winning podcasts, and transformative journalism that contributed to a Pulitzer Prize and a Gracie “Women in Media” Award, numerous Hollywood Independent Music Awards, Josie Music Awards and Lexington Music Awards Critics Choice recognition.
