Public radio innovator and "Rhythm Lab Radio" creator and host Tarik Moody will lead 88Nine Radio Milwaukee's new Urban Alternative channel as its program director, the station announced Monday.
In early 2022, the station will hire additional Urban Alternative staff members and will share the channel's name and brand identity. The new channel is slated to launch on June 19, which is Juneteenth Day.
"Tarik is an incredible visionary," Radio Milwaukee Executive Director Kevin Sucher said. "He has been instrumental in Radio Milwaukee's pursuit of the Urban Alternative channel, and his nationally syndicated program ‘Rhythm Lab Radio' has pioneered this sound across the country. Tarik's passion for new technology, music and Milwaukee make him the perfect choice for this important role."
