Kevin Amos speaks out on "Black Radio" in Pittsburgh

Folks ...I am involved in print, broadcast and new media so I think I know a little bit. My radio involvement spans over 30 years. It does't make any difference where I have worked. I know the industry and how things work. I have never been a favorite of the so-called Black media mainstream in case some of you really want to know or the White media either. For a few months now people have been asking me what the solution should be in replacing WAMO as a so-called Black radio entity but I have k… Continue
