Robynn Jaymes

Robynn Jaymes is living proof that music, hope, and heart can carry you through just about anything.

A Liberty University graduate, Robynn has been a familiar voice on the radio across Central, Southwest, and now Southern Virginia throughout her broadcasting career. Her passion for connecting with listeners and creating meaningful moments on the air has made radio feel less like a job — and more like home.

After a long battle with pancreatitis that began in 2011, Robynn was thrilled to return to the airwaves in October 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she discovered B99-9 by scanning the radio for something new to brighten her day — and quickly became a fan of the station. When it was finally time to get back behind the microphone, B99-9 felt like the perfect fit from the very beginning.


Today, Robynn brings warmth, encouragement, humor, and a love for great country music to listeners across Southern Virginia every day. She especially loves 90’s country — the songs, the stories, and the artists that defined an era and still feel like old friends every time they play on the radio.

Robynn says Franklin County and the surrounding communities welcomed her with open arms and made her feel right at home as soon as she got on the air at B99-9. That sense of connection and family is something she carries with her every time the mic comes on.

Listeners know Robynn for her uplifting spirit, authentic heart, and ability to find light even in difficult moments. Whether she’s sharing a meaningful story, celebrating life’s simple joys, or helping listeners laugh their way through the morning, she believes radio is about much more than music — it’s about connection.

Beyond the studio, Robynn is passionate about supporting local charities, community events, and causes that make a difference. She believes kindness matters, encouragement matters, and sometimes the right song at the right moment can change someone’s entire day.

In a world that can often feel heavy, Robynn Jaymes hopes B99-9 feels like a place listeners can turn to for comfort, fun, encouragement, and a little bit of home.

Joe Collins

2026 marks my 40th year in radio. I started way back in 1986 as a high school kid taking broadcasting in vocational school. I worked my way up and down the dial over the years. I first came to Rocky Mount way back in 1993 and lived here through the mid 90's. Now I have landed on WTIT playing music that I truly love. Other colors in my rainbow include a YouTube channel that is mostly dedicated to teaching folks how to use Linux on their computers. I've also done voice-overs and written articles for web sites about Linux and radio. I LOVE all kinds of music and I have been collecting CD's and records since I was a kid. Speaking of kids, mine are grown now so it's just Miss Cindy and me along with our four cats and a 16-year-old dog named Carley.

You can hear me Monday through Friday 3 to 7 PM here on WYTI.
