Good news!
WBOK will remain under local ownership.
New Orleans native Wendell Pierce, best known for roles in HBO's "The
Wire" and "Treme," and several local businessmen confirmed Thursday that
they are buying WBOK, Louisiana's only African American-focused talk
radio station.
Not so good news. It now involves these guys.
Pierce is joining with Cleveland Spears, owner of a public relations
company, business consultant Troy Henry and Jeff Thomas, owner of
multimedia platform "Think504," to form Equity Media, which is expected
to close the deal to buy WBOK in the next few months.
Really looking forward to the official
radio station of Fest Festival. Maybe we'll get a special commentary or two from Henry about privatizing S&WB or something.
