Nashville NftACP Accuses Radio
Station Os Exploiting Community
NASHVILLE. Term. (ANP)
The Nashville branch of the
NAACP last week accused a lo
cal radio station of exploiting the
Negro market and of reneging on
promises to feature a cultural pro
gram on the Negro market.
In protest against the policies
of radio station WSOK, commonly
referred to as Nashville’s only
“Negro” radio station, the NAACP
has withdrawn its regular 15
minute Sunday program produc
ed over the station as a public
service. The organization also sent
a letter to the station criticizing
it for what it termed not having
lived up to promises made the
colored community and the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
The NAACP contends that des
pite its agreement to offer a cul
tural and educational program,
the station has featured “blues,
boogie and spirituals.” Nashville
sepians also say that the station
has failed to live up to its prom
ise to integrate colored persons
in all phases of the radio field,
and that the policies of the sta
tion are against the best inter
ests of the Negro community.
WSOK is owned and operated
by the Nashville Broadcasting
Company, of which H. Calvin
Young Jr., white, is president and
general manager, and majority
stockholder.
Copies of the NAACP letter to
the station have been filed with
the FCC, Washington.
Specifically, colored people
here contend the station has ig
nored the counsel and advice of
Negro associates, stockholders
and directors in matters of pro
gram and labor policy, and re
mains officially out of contact
with the colored community.
The labor policy of the station,
according to Negroes, has been one
of intimidation to keep employees
out of labor unions. A competent
announcer was discharged and a
program director resigned and
advised Negroes to boycott be
cause they protested against re
ligious program where the se.
ing was to be segregated.
In regard to Negro members of
the staff, colored people say they
are underpaid and restricted to
announcers, copy writers and re
ceptionists. There is only one Ne
gro advertising salesman; the
others are White. This lone col
ored salesman was given strict
orders not to attempt to sell ad
vertising to White trade accounts.
Advertising representatives art
guaranteed wages which are mort
than double that of the Negro
employees. The station has six
colored employees.
As to program policy, the Ne
groes contend that the 'station
promised the FCC to make the
station educational, religious and
cultural, and carried to the FCC
statements of endorsement from
Negro citizens and groups. In
practice, however, the station em
ploys principally “cheap” record
ed music, both secular and sacred,
and is advertised as the statioi
of “blues, boogie and spirituals.”
Educational programs of the
station have been reduced to nil
except on Sunday, the Negro
community contends, in the face
of a promise to the FCC that the
station would give 30 per cent of
its time to public service pro
grams.
The station also was accused
of making huge profits through
its operations.
