Days later, the promoter changed his mind and bought time on the stations, but many of them consider it "a token gift." "This was our way of calling attention to the fact," said Mutter Evans, owner and general manager of WAAA-AM in Winston-Salem and one of the organizers of the boycott. "Our objection was not with Tina Turner or Capitol Records, but with the promoters who refused to advertise with black radio stations." "This was a serious disregard to black radio stations who played Tina Turner first on her return to the industry." V "After 42n4ii>g out about the Nov. 23 concert* * Evans said she contacted Southern Promotions, the concert's local promoter, to request advertising for WAAA. Evans said she was told that only Top 40 stations would be advertising the show. Evans said she then called other black stations in the area to see if they were included in the advertising package. Once she found out that most were excluded, Evans said, the stations decided to take action.

A co?y has also been sent to the State Bureau of Investigation "for advice and J recommendations,'' says its conclusion.
