Breaking News

I your humble servant was the first to break the news on the format change concerning Magic 1050. My reporting was spot on. No need for kudos now. I also posed the question did the minority community loose an entitlement with Magic 1050 being changed from R&B programming or did an entrepreneurial opportunity present itself? There were so many things that were fundamentally wrong with Magic 1050 as a radio station. Fiscally the station was under performing, the news reporting was nonexistent and the music at times was downright old. Not to mention Jeffrey Perkins should not have been singled out as the reason Magic 1050’s format changed. Believe me, the station was going to be changed to sports/talk no matter what. Jeffrey Perkins was being used a scapegoat, plain and simple.
I am glad to be able to break the rest of the story. Very soon Decatur will have a radio station that will offer similar music to the now defunct Magic 1050. However this time there will be a heavy emphasis on reporting state and local news. There will be many advertising opportunities as well as home grown radio shows. Stay tune as this situation develops. Remember your heard it here first. What say you?
