Rob Parker, three ex-athletes set to launch all-Black sports-talk station in Detroit

The Metro Detroit radio market is getting set to roll out another local sports-talk station, with a twist.

Former Detroit sports columnist Rob Parker and three business partners, all former athletes, have reached an agreement to lease WXYT 1270-AM from Audacy and launch the nation’s first all-Black lineup of hosts. “Sports Rap Radio” is scheduled to launch in mid-May, and eventually will feature local programming from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with Parker’s nationally syndicated show, “The Odd Couple” with Chris Broussard, airing from 7-10 p.m.

Additional hosts will be announced in the coming weeks, Parker said.
