Wayne K. Brown, one of the most influential
African-Americans in the radio business, lost his battle with liver cancer this
past weekend, according to a story atnewsone.com.
With more than three decades of experience across
broadcasting and marketing, Brown, 55, was considered a true industry pioneer.
“Wayne was a wonderful human being,” said Ms. Catherine L.
Hughes, Chairperson & Founder of Radio One, Inc., “he made you feel like
you were the most important person in the world when you were with him.”
Brown who was the VP/GM of Radio One’s Atlanta market for
eight years, was most recently the general manager of Atlanta’s Streetz 94.5
FM.
Brown also served as senior partner and associate publisher
of Who’s Who publishing company. Prior to Radio One he spent 13 years at CBS
Headquarters in New York City working for network TV & radio.
