Three Stations Fill Void for Select Audiences
Title
Three Stations Fill Void for Select Audiences
Subject
The evolution of three Charlotte radio stations as they gear towards black audiences in 1977.
Description
This article, written by Dennis Rogers for The Charlotte Observer, tells the story of how the local radio stations WGIV, WHVN, and WRPL (all AM stations) attempted to reach a broader audience. The African-American community was often an overlooked demographic in radio listener research, creating a void in terms of providing serious news coverage for that particular group.
