"Radio One, Inc. (www.radio-one.com) is the nation's seventh largest radio broadcasting company (based on 2003 net broadcast revenue) and the largest company that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. Radio One owns and/or operates 69 radio stations located in 22 urban markets in the United States and reaches approximately 13 million listeners every week. Radio One also programs “XM 169 The POWER” on XM Satellite Radio and owns approximately 40% of TV One, LLC, an African-American targeted cable channel, which is a joint venture with Comcast Corporation.
Our strategy is to expand within our existing markets and into new markets that have a significant African-American presence. We believe radio broadcasting primarily targeting African-Americans has significant growth potential. We also believe that we have a competitive advantage in the African-American market and the radio industry in general, due to our primary focus on urban formats, our skill in programming and marketing these formats, and our turnaround expertise." - http://www.radio-one.com
Because of these racist bigots, Y100 has been taken off the air to allow yet another Rap and R&B station in this city of brotherly love. This is reverse racism. Cutting down our rock stations to one less just goes to show how much power over white people, black people are gaining in our city. It should be an equal amount of power, and it should correspond to an equal amount of radio stations per race. Now people who say that radio is not designated by race can kiss my fucking ass because you are just in denial. This is just proof of this. Go to http://www.y100rocks.com and sign the petition to save this station.
This is our Memphis. And by God, I will play the race card if I have to.
