Long before Facebook or Twitter, black radio sounded the horn and kept the community engaged and informed.
In Chicago, WVON AM 1690 has been a trusted neighborhood jewel for 40 years and counting. WVON AM1690 is so famous and beloved, that the audience makes an investment of time and energy to listen to the conversation at hand, and to wait patiently for an opportunity to add their two cents.
Listeners know their personalities on a deeper level than the typical talk show host-listener relationship allows; there’s a connection built on decades of trust and open discussions, during riots, elections, through good times and bad.
Further, WVON has a solid reputation for putting a hot mic in the face of Chicago’s most controversial, mesmerizing, and well-informed rebel rousers, and that tradition continues with “Talk It Out with Maze and Monique.”
If heat is what you’re listening for, Maze Jackson, president of Compass Public Affairs LLC and a lobbyist with The Roosevelt Group, and Monique Spence, entrepreneur, brand strategist and owner of Brand You Inc., do not disappoint.
