The podcast is available on most audio platforms including iHeart and the television show airs on demand daily at 8:30 PM on Good Life TV Channel 19.īlack Women In Radio (BWIR) is celebrating another milestone as an active partner of the Library of Congress’s Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF). In 2020, Love produced the industry’s first podcast and TV show designed specifically to inform and introduce the public to the women behind Black radio culture.
Love’s effort has proven to be quite effective and most appreciated as many of the women on the BWIR platforms did not previously know each other.
Since its inception, BWIR has identified gaps and challenges that are specific to Black women in the industry and connected thousands of women all over the U.S., and abroad of all age ranges and levels of experience. NBC Washington Channel 4 recently aired a story on BWIR and their impact on the industry. She is using that experience to help change the perception of Black women in radio and to give them the credit they have earned and deserved for their contributions for which many have been historically overlooked and excluded. Love, the organizations founder and president, is an educator, author and media veteran with over 30 years of experience in the radio industry. When Felèsha Love kicked off the Black Women in Radio (BWIR) marketing and research campaign in 2017, she had no idea of the overwhelming support and impact this campaign would have on this interconnected group of women. This organization has successfully connected thousands of minority women and celebrated their professional contributions to Black radio culture on a national platform. The Library of Congress’s Radio Preservation Task Force is excited to announce a new partnership with Black Women in Radio (BWIR).
