Revolution in the Memphis Air

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The story of WDIA, the first radio station in America to deliberately target a black audience. In the deeply segregated city of Memphis, it was an instant success in 1948 with Nat D Williams atthe helm. It was nicknamed the Goodwill Station because it helped listeners find work, lost relatives and even a missing pair of teeth. With Burt Caesar. Producer John Goudie
