Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® As president and general manager of Chicago's WVON-AM, Melody Spann- Cooper heads the only African American-owned radio station in the nation's third- largest market. She is the first black woman in Chicago to hold this distinction. In 1999, Spann-Cooper purchased a controlling interest in the Midway Broadcasting Company, the parent company of WVON, and was named Chairman of the Board. With the purchase, Spann-Cooper overcame the odds in a sector where minority ownership of commercial stations has fallen since the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Reform Act favoring media conglomerates. Under Spann-Cooper's leadership as program director, WVON's revenues skyrocketed Spann-Cooper's leadership as program director, WVON's revenues skyrocketed from $700,000 in 1994 to $2.4 million in 2002. Her extensive involvement in the community, along with WVON's high quality coverage of issues vital to African Americans' lives, has been crucial to the station's success.

  • Chicago's WVON Radio and the Sonorous Image of Black Lives, 1963-1983 a DISSERTATION SU
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Talking Drum: Chicago’s WVON Radio and the Sonorous Image of Black Lives, 1963-1983 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Communication Studies By Zachary William Mills EVANSTON, ILLINOIS September 2017 2 © Copyright by Zachary William Mills 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT My dissertation, “Talking Drum: Chicago’s WVON Radio and the Sonorous Image of Black Lives, 1963-1983,” studies WVON radio as a mediating institution of the black public sphere in Cold War Chicago. “Talking Drum” explores how WVON celebrated, represented, and mobilized black public life in the mid-twentieth century amid a dominant public sphere that circulated racist scripts of black citizenship. Local black-oriented radio stations like WVON provided alternative forums through which African Americans could talk back to those misrepresentations, ideologies, and policies constituting the era’s national imperatives of black containment. Much like the polyrhythmic correspondence disseminated through the African drum among enslaved blacks in colonial North America, WVON’s programming demonstrated the power of black vernacular expression to construct meaningful cultural communiqués. “Talking Drum” explores how WVON’s sonorous rhetorical assault on negative public images and epistemologies of African American citizenship provided new grounds for defining, claiming, and securing freedom and interpreting black identity, interests, and needs. By analyzing the radio station’s public affairs, news, popular culture, and political programming, my dissertation contributes to discussions about the capacity of Cold War radio and contemporary innovations of the black public sphere to inspire and mobilize disenfranchised communities in shared struggles to secure greater democratic freedoms.
