Brokered WVCG Becomes Radio One's WTPS, The People's Station (Coral Gables, FL -- February, 2006) ... Long-time brokered station WVCG (1080) is relaunched January 30 as The Peoples' Station (WTPS), part of Radio One's black news and talk network that's debuting on a dozen stations around the country. "Black people like to talk. If you go up and down the AM dial, the number of black voices calling in is incredible," said Kervin L. Clenance, the station's new vice president and general manager. WTPS is owned by Radio One, which specializes in programming for urban audiences. The Al Sharpton Show (1 to 4 PM) and The Michael Eric Dyson Show (10 AM to 1 PM) are among the new features on WTPS 1080. Radio One announced its new talk radio network targeting black listeners in January. The network launched on seven radio stations, including Miami's WTPS. WTPS will keep its popular weekend Caribbean programming. For example, Eddy Edwards' program Caribbean Riddims will be on Saturdays from 3 'til 6 PM. It includes an ocean segment by Ken English.
