iHeartMedia has dropped Fox News 640/WGST-AM in Atlanta for a new format Black Information Network as of noon Tuesday.
Fourteen other launch stations are in markets such as Augusta and Columbus in Georgia, along with Charlotte, San Francisco and Norfolk. Many are on the FM dial.
The company has called it “the first and only 24/7 national and local all news audio service dedicated to providing an objective, accurate and trusted source of continual news coverage with a Black voice and perspective.”
