That was quick.
"Sports Rap Radio," the first all-Black sports-talk radio station in the nation, which broadcast on WXYT 1270-AM, has run out of funding after less than three monthss and is off the air, the Detroit News reports.
The News reports:
Rob Parker, a former Detroit News sports columnist, said Thursday in an interview with The News that the ownership group's anticipated second round of funding never came to fruition, making it impossible to continue. The news comes just as college football, with Michigan and Michigan State, and the NFL, with the Lions, are set to start their seasons.
Parker, though, continues to hold out hope "Sports Rap Radio" will return at some point, somewhere, in some format.
