102-3 BXR interviews bands or singers playing in the city's various locations. These interviews are conducted "Live In Studio X." Past Studio X guests include
Joe Strummer of
The Clash,
Big Head Todd and the Monsters,
Dave Matthews,
Wilco, and
Sheryl Crow (who attended the
University of Missouri in Columbia). In 2005, KBXR released a CD compilation of songs recorded at the station, called
Live from Studio X. Proceeds from the CD sales went to the Central Missouri Humane Society. The station released a second CD in December 2008 called
Live from Studio X, Volume 2. The proceeds from this project go to Boys and Girls Town of Missouri. Annually, during Thanksgiving and about a week after, BXR has a "B to X" special event where the station airs its entire song library alphabetically with no repeats starting with song titles that begin with the letter B and ending with song titles that begin with the letter X. Many lesser-known songs by various popular bands and singers are aired right along with more popular chart-toppers. Also, this event allows various versions of the same song that have been remixed or remade to be heard back-to-back since the songs are spelled the same alphabetically. ==History==
