WNOV (860 AM) ("The Source") is a community-oriented urban contemporary radio station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. WNOV is currently the only station owned by Courier Communications, but on January 18, 2008 it was sold to a new company called Radio Multi-Media[1]. WNOV air a variety of African-American-oriented programming, ranging from rhythm and blues music, gospel music, hip-hop and community affairs shows.
They are most notable for their controversial local talk show hosts, particularly former Milwaukee alderman Michael McGee, Sr. WNOV began broadcasting in 1946 as WFOX and switched call letters to WNOV in 1968.
Controversy
On 3 May 2007, Michael McGee, Sr, on his morning show, praised the death of the mother of another radio personality, Charlie Sykes, whom McGee has verbally battled with for years. Syke's mother, Katherine B. Sykes, died in a house fire from smoke inhalation two days before the comments were made. He stated that her death was "the vengeance of God" and insinuated that Charlie Sykes had a hand in the death of Ms. Sykes. On 5 May 2007, the station announced that the privately-financed show would be hosted instead by McGee's son, current Milwaukee alderman Michael McGee, Jr, while the elder McGee was on "indefinite" suspension. [1] Three weeks later on 28 May 2007, McGee Jr was arrested and jailed on federal charges of bribery and extortion and local charges of attempted assault and solicitation for murder. Additional charges from both the Federal and local authorities remain pending. [2]
