WLIB was so small, that it didn’t even broadcast full time. That was the term at the time? literally called race music?ĪLEX: And Pierre says owners of these stations didn’t believe that the black audience had spending power, and so the owners didn’t invest that many resources trying to reach a black audience. ![]() And people who couldn't figure out what to do with their radio stations decided that they would play soul music or race music because they couldn't figure out what else to do with the radio station, so do they did that.Īlex: Right.

Keisha: I am his first born child by 25 years. On today’s show I’m talking to some people who helped launch something, based on that kind of faith.
