Here is one of the most interesting airchecks I’ve heard in a long time. Dr. O.C. White and Jim Frazier talk about the history of Black radio from the days of 1590 WAWA about a year before the station went dark. The old jocks… where are they now and what stations were they heard? How did Black radio start? These questions are answered on this one hour recording.
it’s a MUST LISTEN for anyone who wishes to know about Milwaukee area Black radio!

“For the sound that’s right, it’s Dr. O.C. White; at this time of day on WAWA; West Allis.”
“Early in the morning, late at night, what’s his name? O.C. White”
“WAWA, West Allis, Wisconsin, with studios and transmitter in Elm Grove, now leaves the air to return tomorrow morning at 6:00AM with yours truly O.C. White. WAWA is owned and operated by Suburbanaire, Incorporated and operates on a frequency of 1590 kilocycles with a power of 1000 watts as authorized by the Federal Communications Commission. Portions of our programming have been mechanically reproduced. This is O.C. White wishing you Good Night for the entire staff of WAWA.”
Great stuff. I remember O.C. White growing up in Milwaukee. He was something.
I worked with Jim Frazier at WNOV in Milwaukee from 74-75. Was glad to hear Jim and O>C> on this segment…very informative. Hey Jim e-mail when you get a chance.
Leo Jim pass away sometime in the early 90’s just before O.C. White.
