WGPR: A look inside Detroit’s historic Black-owned radio station

I know we have some members here from the Windsor and Detroit area, and others who've worked in those markets over the years. They may be interested in this look at WGPR-FM, a legendary Motown radio station that's been around the dial since 1961. It's one of the city's Black-owned stations, which helps make it unique in Detroit radio. 

Plus, it's rare that a TV station gives any attention to radio, and this story contains an almost three-minute video. Worth your time if you're interested in that market or a glimpse inside a radio property in general.
