Interesting situation in Boston where black-owned Radio One changed format of WILD AM 1090. It had been black-oriented talk shows like Rev. Al Sharpton and some soul music, gospel, etc. As of 6/1 it’s now running China Radio International under a “leased marketing agreement”.
Well, there’s your diversity (time bought by Chinese govt.
no doubt founded by buying up U.S. and credit card debt).
Money talked. Bye bye Rev Al
Universal Hub: “Shocker for Al Sharpton fans: Boston Radio Watch reports the station’s owners have signed a long-term lease with China Radio International to broadcast “news, music, language lessons and human interest stories from China live from Beijing.”
Figured something was up when their winter ski report no longer referred to hitting the slopes.
