| Wash Allen |
Legendary on-air radio personality Wash Allen has partnered
with renowned publicist Judy Foston, international business negotiator, Michael
McCall and investor Dr. John Stanford Jr. to create WJMJ global radio network
LLC.
According to rollingout.com, the new radio station will allow
Wash Allen to reprise his discontinued talk show confessions which aired for
over 30 years on the KCOH radio station.
Formerly known as the oldest African American radio station
in the state of Texas, KCOH was sold in November for $2.1 million to the La
Promsea Foundation of Midland after the January 2012 death of KCOH’s longtime
general manager and majority owner, Michael Petrizzo.
When the station was moved from the 5,000-watt 1430 FM
frequency to the now 1,000-watt 1230 AM frequency Wash Allen made the decision
to leave the station for a new venture.
“People said, ‘I couldn’t leave because I had been there so
long’ but now I know it was the perfect time,’ said Wash. “This is exciting to
me. I used to beg to be somewhere. Now I make the choice of where I’m going to
be.”
The WJMJ radio network will launch in August of 2013.
