A look into the history of the family who created WCHB radio
In a special Destination Detroit report, One Detroit producer Bill Kubota explores the history of WCHB and WJZZ radio with members of the family who founded the stations. Annette Bass and her brother-in-law Eric Bass talk about how his grandfather, father and uncle built the Inkster-based WCHB-AM radio from the ground up. It was a first for an African American owned and operated radio station.
