WDIA is a radio station based in Memphis, Tennessee. Active since 1947, it soon became the first radio station in America that was programmed entirely for African Americans. It featured black radio personalities; its success in building an audience attracted radio advertisers suddenly aware of a "new" market among black listeners. The station had a strong influence on music, hiring musicians early in their careers, and playing their music to an audience that reached through the Mississippi Delta to the Gulf Coast.
The station started the WDIA Goodwill Fund to help and empower black communities. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., the station's studios are located in Southeast Memphis, and the transmitter site is in North Memphis.
History
WDIA went on the air June 7, 1947, from studios on Union Avenue. The owners, John Pepper and Dick Ferguson, were both white, and the format was a mix of country and western and light pop. The station did not do well.
Nat D. Williams, a syndicated columnist and high-school teacher, started Tan Town Jubilee in October 1948. This was the first radio program in the United States to appeal to black listeners, and WDIA soon became the number-2 station in Memphis. After a switch to all-black programming, WDIA became the city's top station. In June 1954 WDIA was licensed to increase its power to 50,000 watts. Its powerful signal reached the Mississippi Delta’s dense African-American population and was heard from the Missouri Bootheel to the Gulf Coast. WDIA reached 10% of the African-American population in United States.

[Verse 1: Rosa Linn & Duncan Laurence]
Time didn't change me
But what about you?
I think of you lately
And I wonder if you do
If you try to erase me
Do I kill you in ways that kill me too?
[Pre-Chorus: Rosa Linn & Duncan Laurence]
'Cause I'll take all the pain, all the bruises and blame
And repeat it 'til I go insane
[Chorus: Rosa Linn & Duncan Laurence]
If I could go back
Chasing what we had
Straight through the pitch black
I would do it again
You pull me inside
Into yo...

Lyrics:
Time didn’t change me,
But what about you?
I think of you lately,
And I wonder if you do.
If you try to erase me,
Do I kill you in ways
That kill me too?
Cuz I’ll take all the pain
All the bruises and blame
And repeat it till I go insane
If I could go back
Chaisin’ what we had
Straight through the pitch black
I would do it again.
You pulled me inside
Into your riptide
Under a landslide
But I would do it again
I was a child
Imitating a woman
Caught in the wild
And you trained me what to do
And I was chained to the feeling
The sickness, the habit
The highs and the tragic
The depths that you fall to for love
And I’ll take all the pain,
Shoot it inside my veins
And repeat it till I go insane
If I could go back (go, go back)
Chaisin’ what we had (we, we had)
Straight through the pitch black (pitch black)
I would do it again (again, again)
You pulled me inside (in-inside)
Into your riptide (rip-riptide)
Under a landslide (landslide)
I would do it again
I would do it again ya
I would
Lie to myself just to make you the truth
I would
Run through the flames to get closer to you
I would
And If I could go back (go, go back)
Chaisin’ what we had (we, we had)
Straight to the pitch black (pitch black)
I would do it again (again, again, again)
You pulled me inside (in-inside)
Into your riptide (rip-riptide)
Under a landslide (landslide)
I would do it again
I would do it again ya I would
