Milwaukee has a new Black radio station, 101.7 The Truth, launched in early January. The station features an all-talk platform that embraces Milwaukee’s Black community. The talk is challenging, with strong perspectives about what’s happening in Black neighborhoods. The young station manager,
Kyle Wallace, shared his reasoning for the new format. “Black voices don’t have enough platforms. Our philosophy is that listeners shouldn’t just hear just one perspective. Our mission is to expand perspectives. The talk is raw, honest, and true as to what’s really going on in Black Milwaukee.”
