WEUP: A voice for the Black community in North Alabama By Eric Graves | February 2, 2021 at 2:01 PM CST - Updated February 4 at 5:26 PM
âItâs nothing but pride, weâre very happy weâre able to do what we do. Everybody here, everybody in the building loves their job,â said Steve Murry, a more than 30 year radio veteran at WEUP.
Leroy and Viola Garrett first signed onto the airwaves on March 20, 1958, their broadcast featured a mix of gospel, sermons, news, and rhythm and blues.
âIâm sure it was very prideful for people to know that they had a voice, they had somewhere they could go to get information on what was going on in our community,â Murry said.
