Disappearing Voices – The Decline of Black Radio (2008)
Writer: Iyanna L Jones / Director: U-SAVIOR
Genre: Documentary; Social / Duration:74 Mins
Disappearing Voices is one part historical exploration; it explores the history of broadcasting in general and Black Radio in particular and another part detective; it investigates what made Black radio unique and follows some of the jocks who contributed to that uniqueness. Finally, Disappearing Voices covers Black radio’s high points and the point at which it took a downward turn. Disappearing Voices explores the current environment and what can be done to turn Black Radio around. The film embarks upon an in-depth exploration of systemic racism, Arbitron, Madison Avenue advertising agencies, Black radio station owners and the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters, Black Disc Jockeys, Community Organizing and possible solutions to the ailing Black radio industry.
