That summer was unusually hot. Returning back to Michigan from
Arkansas we couldn’t tell much difference in the humidity, but that was okay
because now the station has air conditioning on the upper level so day to day
work is much more pleasant.
I’m getting out into the community and meeting with Black business owners. We invited them to the station so that could see what is about to take place --- a Black owned and operated FM radio station programming R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Gospel music for Saginaw, Flint and the surrounding area.
Also, by this time Choker Campbell’s Tri-City recording company produced one of its first recordings--- a song about Vida Blue, the great left handed pitcher for the Oakland “A” baseball team.
The Saginaw and Flint communities were excited about the new radio station and Choker Campbell’s recording studio.
Detroit was getting competition and the Black community was proud.
