Atlanta’s Black radio stations have joined forces with the common goals of voter registration, education, and mobilization ahead of the 2024 election. In 2020, several Black radio Program Directors convened to discuss how they could drive positive change for the future. This collaboration led to the creation of the “Black Radio United For The Vote” initiative.
“Black Radio United For The Vote” aims to register Black voters across metro Atlanta and mobilize them to the upcoming November 5th election polls. The organization is partnering with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta and its affiliates to achieve these goals.
Stations participating include Radio One’s WAMJ/WUMJ (Majic 107.5/97.5), and WAMJ-HD2 (Classix 102.9), Urban One’s WHAT (Hot 107.9), WPZE (Praise 102.5), Clark Atlanta University’s WCLK (Jazz), Cox Media Group’s WALR (KISS 104.1), Audacy’s WVEE (V103.3), News/Talk WAOK, Davis Broadcasting’s WJZA (Smooth Jazz 101.1/100.1) and JDJ Communications WWSZ (Streetz 94.5)
On National Voter Registration Day, September 17, participating local stations will air a full day of programming to educate, inform, and inspire Atlanta’s Black community to register to vote, verify their registration status, and learn about the upcoming ballot.
