In 1949, black audiences in Atlanta tuned in to the first radio - TopicsExpress

In 1949, black audiences in Atlanta tuned in to the first radio station owned and operated by African-Americans, WERD. Established by Jesse B. Blayton Sr. in 1949, the station was housed in a Masonic building in one of the wealthiest black neighborhoods in the United States. Blayton hired his son Jesse Jr. to run the station, along with, "Jockey" Jack Gibson, one of the most popular black DJs at the time. Housed in the same building as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, it is rumored that when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wanted to get on the air, he would beat on the ceiling so that the station would send a microphone down. WDIA in Memphis, Tenn., had black programming on the air in 1948, but was not owned by African-Americans. (Source: "Voice Over: The Making of Black Radio," by William Barlow.
