As I type this story it is Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As we celebrate his day, I hear about sports radio KJR here in Seattle that has the NERVE to broadcast from a basketball event here in Seattle that honors Dr. King.

The big problem with this is sportsradio here in Seattle has zero African Americans over the air so that means that KJR cannot have any African Americans over the air doing the games. This is sad. This is wrong readers.

In over two decades, KJR have had a grand total of ONE African Americans over the air as a host. ONE in 20 years!! Something is very very wrong about this. It is the “good ole boy network” in full effect at KJR AND the other sports station in Seattle 710 ESPN. Oh yeah…they have zero African Americans over the air too!

So readers, two sports radio stations and ZERO African Americans over the air. Dr King lived and died for inclusion and not exclusion of black folks.

In the last few weeks KJR has started a new night program from Fox Sports Radio with hosts former Seattle area DJ on a music station, T-Man and former major league pitcher Rob Dibble. Two more guys that are not African Americans. Two more guys that will blast black folks at will like it has been for twenty years!!

So right now, Seattle has no local sports shows on the air after 7pm. This is a problem. So my goal is to start a ONLINE sports show via webcasts and podcasts. I have obtained a lot of connections already on the sports side. It is time for diversity on sports radio from Seattle. Even if its online.

I hope you readers will listen to our podcasts and watch our Ustream TV webcasts. We will have interviews, music and more! Dr Martin Luther King Jr. would not be happy about sports radio on KJR and 710 here in Seattle with guys acting like buddies with nicknames etc instead of working sports jocks.

Here is the problem readers with this new nighttime program on KJR, it shows me AGAIN that the management of KJR and 710 do not care about what Dr. King gave many of speeches about. With African Americans and people of color dominating the three major sports, how can 710 ESPN and KJR here in Seattle not have ANY African Americans over the air locally? It is beyond me.  Gordon Curvey
