full-service voice for the African-American community, adding more talk shows, gospel music, news and sports, while reducing its R&B music shows. AM 1200 WCHB Bell Broadcasting moved the WCHB call letters to 1200 kHz in February 1990 as a new AM station for the Metro Detroit area. AM 1440 became an all-gospel station as WMKM, under different ownership. In 1998, Bell Broadcasting sold WCHB and WCHB-FM (formerly WJZZ, later WDTJ and now WDMK) to Radio One, a black-owned broadcasting company. Radio One then set about the process of upgrading WCHB's signal, which involved taking the station off the air for several months in August 1998 to upgrade the equipment. The company purchased WKNX in Frankenmuth (at 1210 AM) and moved it to Kingsley, near Traverse City in northern Michigan (see also WLDR and WJML), to improve WCHB's 1200 AM signal. Another occurrence which played a role was the nighttime reduction in power of first-adjacent channel WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana (at 1190 AM). WOWO also directionalized its nighttime signal towards the west and became a Class B station (formerly a Class A, clear channel with good nighttime coverage of Metro Detroit). That change of the WOWO signal at least partially allowed WCHB to increase nighttime power to 15,000 watts from 700 watts. WCHB resurfaced in March 1999 with a new 50,000-watt daytime/15,000-watt nighttime signal and with a format of mainly gospel music, with a morning talk show, "Inside Detroit," hosted by outspoken Detroit personality and former WJLB newscaster Mildred Gaddis. NewsTalk 1200 WCHB In April 2005, WCHB cut back its gospel programming to 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. weekdays and around the clock on weekends to make way for Radio One's syndicated talk show lineup. Beginning on January 30, 2006, Radio One debuted Syndication One, a joint venture of Radio One and REACH Media, which featured urban talk show hosts Reverend Al Sharpton, Michael Eric Dyson and Doug & Ryan Stewart – the 2 Live Stews sports show. Mildred Gaddis' "Inside Detroit" remained a part of the schedule, airing from 6-10 a.m. weekdays. Another local show, "Your Voice with Angelo Henderson," hosted by Wall Street Journal columnist Angelo Henderson, also aired weekdays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. The shows were simultaneously placed on other Radio One stations, including WILD 1090 in Boston, WOL 1450 in Washington, D.C., WVCG 1080 in Miami, WERE 1300 in Cleveland and WROU 1240 in Richmond, Virginia.
