Why will you miss the African American
programming aired on 1090 WILD AM?

We’ve lost a big part of our musical culture. Nothing can replace it.

 Frank Wilkins
Music Director: We Jazz Up

Because WILD was connected as a community radio station. Without their broadcast platform we have nothing.

I don’t think they should have given it up. They sold out the community.

Because they were one of the stations that would play black music. Now I have to buy satellite radio to get black music outside of Mattapan Square.

Absence of WILD gives more power to 106.1FM. Our community had two stations — WILD and TOUCH 106.1FM — we could count on for local new and a strong connection nationally. I’ll miss Tom Joyner. Now, more support will be shifted to TOUCH 106.1FM.

WILD was an indispensable voice for the black community. It was criminal the way the station was terminated without proper input from the black community.
