From 1974 to 1998, 2126 N Meridian in Indianapolis was a iconic significant address. It was the home of Indy’s first full time Black radio station WTLC-FM. In September 1992 a second WTLC debuted at that historic location at 1310 on the AM dial. Part of the new station’s programming was a weekday Black talk show that for the first time in Indianapolis gave the Black community an opportunity to have their say on issues.
To commemorate the special occasion, Afternoons with Amos broadcast live from the historic Meridian Street address which now houses the Indiana Minority Supplier Diversity Council (IMSDC). During the special broadcast, Amos Brown, who created daily Black talk in 1992, with The Noon Show talked with Wendell Ray, one of The Noon Show hosts in the 1990’s and Dane Middlebrook, son of the late Willie Frank Middlebrook who hosted weekday The Bottom Line in the late 1990’s to 2004 and Thomas Griffin, Middlebrook’s producer.
