HYFIN
Radio Milwaukee launched its new channel, HYFIN, on June
19 (Juneteeth Day), 2022. HYFIN's dynamic music playlist
includes jazz, hip-hop, R & B, and soul. The channel
celebrates and amplifies Black voices in the Milwaukee
area and beyond.
"We have gotten some amazing feedback," said Tarik
Moody, HYFIN Program Director. "Folks are telling us that
this is the only station they listen to. One person said
they discovered at least 10 new artists in one day."
Collaboration with area businesses and organizations
is a priority for HYFIN.
Besides organizing an anniversary celebration on
Juneteenth Day, HYFIN will host a gala in August, Black,
Brown & Brews, an event highlighting brewers and
micro-brewers from minority communities, in September,
and the Blackity Black Holiday Market in December.
HYFIN will also partner with streetwear clothing brand
Unfinished Legacy.
Moody added that some of the channel's long-term
goals include "creating a bridge between the Black
community in Madison and the
Black community in Milwaukee."
"We also would love to create a
major festival within the next two to
three years that would attract folks
from all over the country," he said.
