Beginning Friday, April 8
By Sandra Bowers
Post Staff Writer
Soul radio WGIV .wiU
airins “SuRar-Hill.” a i
ing new program similar to
Don Kirshna’s Rock Concert'
and the Midnight Spedal, be
ginning Fridayr April 8 at 10
p.m. and coming from the
Circle Star Theatre in San
Carlos, CaUfomia. The show
wUl feature the Obip PUyers

A product of DIT Broadcast
ing Company in New York,
Sugar HiO is the title of certain
public live concerts consisting
of Black entertainers, the first
of this type program to be
available to lomU Ustemers.
According to Manny Clark,
Program Dkrector at WGIV,
their broadcast of “War Live”
received a good response from
the Charlotte audience.
“WGIV is flexible, everyone
knows that,” Clark said, “and
if there's enough public out
cry then WGIV will stop what'
it's doing and look seriously
into what the public is asking
for to see if it is feasible for the
air play."
The only negative thing a-
bout “Sugar Hill,” for concert
lovers that is, is that the show
will be aired every other
Friday. “But those letters,
enough of them, will probably
get “Sugar Hill” on WGIV
•very Friday night,^ dark
said.
A great lineup of entertain
ers will be folkwing the Ohio
Player’s show. Ihe Spinners,
as recorded at the Latin Casi
no in New Jersey will be aired
on Friday April 22, and Nata
lie Cole, as recorded at the
Capital Center in Maryland,
will air on Friday May 8. In
addition DIT has signed and
recorded Brick, *»• Bar-
Kays, Brass Construction.

siona for liotenlag siiitisnrno
“i wouldn't bo surpriaed to
find a lot of people actually
taping off the radio,” Clark
s^. He said thoM people udio
can’t go all arou^ the country
chasing codeerts, wiH be aJble
to hear them, right at home, or
riding in their wf.''*'Also the
young kids will dkc this rather'
than wntddng Qw detective
^stories bu'YV.^^qsrit aaU.
AcuunUag to a news release,
