Well, I gotta admit! Seeing was believing and very professional. Somebody or somebodies don't wanna let go of 1090 WILD-AM. Afterall, they been around for over 50 years; and yes, it's hard to let go 'cause the majority in the African-American/Boston community has grown up on "ILD."
It was "Radio One/Syndication One" affiliations of "Tom Joyner, Warren Ballentine and The Al Sharpton Shows" is what's saving WILD-AM from going out of business. Their FCC license expires and up for renewal in 2014.
Touch fm is walking for power in March to get an FCC license and a better 50,000 watts FM signal. If it wasn't for the Radio One affiliation, Touch 106.1 FM would had own the whole entire of WILD listeners, but "Radio One" right now is their life support and hopefully for a very longtime.... If WILD general manager, Rick Anderson plays his cards right.
But anyways....
What took the committed loyal listeners of "WILD-AM" such a long time to put out a MySpace webpage? Looks like some of them from the communities of "Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan" still not feelin' Touch FM, with some of the untruth told by, and protecting the guilty parties of City Councilor Chuck Turner and former State Senator Diane Wilkerson.
So it looks like WILD-AM has now stepped up to the plate. Thank God!!! Warren Ballentine is bringing his show to Boston in February of '09, and the loyals of WILD listeners will come out in support just to go greet, sitdown, meet and talk to Warren. "I agree with that!"
Now, let's see if somebody or somebodies will buy the radio station of "ILD", keep the "Radio One Affiliate" in Boston and make 1090AM what it "WAS" and not what's left of it.
If someone does buy 1090AM, whether an insider or an outsider of Boston, could we be seeing a "WWE RAW vs. WCW NITRO" black radio station war version of "TOUCH vs. WILD?" Just to see who will get bigger ratings to remain on these black radio airwaves? Stay Tuned!!!
A reminder...
