Check out this week’s edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry.
We’re continuing our celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month with a special salute to the life and musical legacy of WCLK 91.9 personality and host of Hot Ice in the Afternoon---Ken Batie. The late Georgia radio icon is being memorialized in a new Radio Installation at Northwest Georgia’s African American Museum in his hometown of Lafayette, GA. Here to chat about him and talk about the new exhibition is former WCLK Morning Show personality and Ken Batie’s business partner Ken Rye.
We're also playing music from some of Ken Batie's favorite artists including Incognito featuring Maysa, The Brand New Heavies and Maxwell.
UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry is produced and hosted by Ray Cornelius for Jazz 91.9 WCLK. The show re-airs on SiriusXM HBCU Channel 142 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 6:30pm EST. It is also presented by the High Museum of Art.
