It is with the deepest sadness that we must inform you that our Cousin TL, died today, February 17th, after a year-long battle with a rare, incurable cancer. He was only 53 years old.
Stank Free Radio has been a Saturday night staple on 103.3 since 2014. Many people in Asheville and around the country and world spent Saturday nights with TL. Throughout the past year of advanced chemo treatments, TL still produced Stank Free Radio from his home studio. There is no replacing TL, on the air, or in life.
Not only was Cousin TL an award-winning DJ but he also served on our Board of Directors, and held many other important volunteer positions over the years. In many ways, Asheville FM was his life and he was the life of our station.
Cousin TL has signed off for the last time, and will be terribly missed. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family and the love of his life, Donetta.
Listeners are invited to share their tributes, memories, song requests, and love for Cousin TL and Donetta in a voice message by calling 828-407-0404 or using the Talk2Us feature on the Asheville FM app.

In the words of TL, ‘Peace, Two Fingers’.
