Black Talk Radio Yesterday, Today & Beyond

What is Black Talk Radio? Quite simply it is a phrase that has been around since the first radio station was created that featured Black disk Jockey’s spinning records featuring Black Music artist primarily for a Black listening audience.

In the 1960’s Malcolm X said that media is the most powerful entity on the planet because it has the power to control the minds of the masses. There is a direct link between the deviant behavior in the Black community and the media that it used to target it. As we enter this new millennium, a new era in new Black media is at hand, the only question is will you be a part of the process in working towards a solution for the Black community.

In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr said Black radio hosts were the opinion makers of the Black community and played an integral role in the civil rights movement.

Where is Black radio, specifically Black Talk Radio today and where is it headed. Is it benefiting the Black community or as Minister Farrakhan once said, it is still controlled by white men?
