Sunny Joe White Is Putting New Sound Together By Debra Stanley Poet Staff Writer • Sunny Joe White, a 24-year old native of Charlotte, is in the process of putting a signifi cantly new sound together for radio station WILD-AM (1090), long associated with Boston's black community. The playlist on the soon to be 5000 watt daytime station is still dominated by black artists in the form of soul, disco, funk, and jazz idioms, but some very talented white performers, whose works fit in with the overall format, are getting airplay now. Weekday mornings talk shows that deal with issues of the black com iQtinity are now broadcast just two mornings a week, while new programs devoted to news and music of the growing Latin and Caribbean commu nities in Boston have been added on Sunday afternoons. White, program director and mofning announcer at WILD-AM, has been a disc jocke^incejie^a^onl^^ years old, where he worked for local station WGIV (1600). he knows music and he knows radio, and is on his way to expanding WILD's audience tremendously. "There is a kind of music that is being played on several radio stations - WRKO and WVBF in particular - that I honestly think we can reco gnize the musical value of first. That means, funda mentally, that the music is going to pull an audience that's not white or black or purple or whatever, but just people who want to be hip to new sounds," White said. "There is just too much labeling of music these days," he commented in his Commonwealth Ave office cum-record library. "Sure we have a few black folks calling up asking why we're playing white music' like Jane Oliver singing 'He's So Fine,' but 1 explain that I think it's a super record and if it makes them feel better, to remember it was three lovely black girls The Chiffons who made that song a hit the first time around many years ago,'' expressed White. The commitment to black issues remains at WILD, but with the increase in power and the installation of a new trans mitter, White proclaimed, "1 think we have a tremendous opportunity to expand our audience." Part of the programing change is an increased emphasis by White on album cuts, a move in line with the vanguard of thoughtful Top 40 programmers who recognize that the days of a hit 45 record creating a market need for an album are largely over White feels that since so many hit records are pulled from albums these days, that good programming, even in disco soul-Top 40 terms, has to be expanded far beyond rigid rotations Record buyers may purchase an album because of a hit tune, but they wanF to' know what else on the album is good, bad or indifferent. Even though Federal Com munications Commission ap proval of the concept is months away, White has visions of AM Stereo clearly in view. "The distinctions in sound quality between FM and AM stereo are not going to be that great, and cerainly not critical in the case of our kind of music. But current pro gramming is far apart between AM and FM, and that gap is going to have to narrow when stereo arrives. I'm trying to get us ready now," White concluded.
