The beginning

Let’s start from the beginning. Sept. 5, 2006 DIRadio born under the Distinctive MMG umbrella. Jan. 2007 DIRadio was renamed DIRadioCast for legal reasons. The brand was created by Africa Allah as an air check for Atlanta’s V-103FM. The show was formated to appeal to the 24 plus market providing commentary, creative reviews on new music from a profession standpoint, exposure to international music and celebrate classic urban music. The show idea was rejected by the Radio One station but received a huge response by the internet audience with one thousand plus downloads in 72 hours. Keep in mind this was 2006 before downloading content was a widely practiced trend.
