Sonny Hopson Returns to the Radio "Maka No Mistaka Jaka"

, , , , ,

Sonny Hopson returned to the airwaves for one day on 900 AM WURD Philadelphia. The talk station usually goes to an all music format on the holidays and asked Hopson to bring his unique style back to the radio on New Year's Day.

"Soul Sound Sonny" or "The Mighty Burner" retired from 1340 WHAT and hasn't been on the air since 1986. Hopson is set to released a book this year called "The Untold Story." More on Sonny at his site WHTHMusic.com and an aircheck on our Black Radio History page.

• Josh Inness has joined Classic Rock station “KSHE 95” 94.7 FM in St. Louis to host afternoons. He most recently hosted mornings on iHeartMedia’s “105.9 The Rock” Nashville, a show that was syndicated to Detroit and Memphis. A former sports talk host known for his controversial takes, Inness said on Twitter recently, "I don’t want to do sports radio every day. I don’t like the vibe of it. It’s largely miserable."

In 2016 he got fired at a Philadelphia sports station (WIP) for posting a picture of black face vaudeville performer Al Jolson to call out rival station's (97.5 The Fanatic) bit where a white producer was imitating a fake black caller (named "Dee-Wayne") filled with every stereotypical characteristics he could think of. That producer still works at that station on the morning show. Inness gained support from Bomani Jones. >> “Dwayne From Swedesboro” Riles Up Philly Radio.
