OUR FOUNDER
Pearl Jones entered the radio industry in 1985 in Dallas, TX. After 10 years at industry leader KKDA-FM, she was recruited by EMI records to be the SW Regional Records Rep. Following a similar stint at A&M Records, she returned to radio in Dallas to help launch the promotions dept. of the newly arrived 97.9 The Beat / Radio One station. Disenchanted with what radio had begun to morph into, she soon left to work with performing artists in road and tour management. In 2007, intrigued with internet broadcasting, she began the process of building her own iRadio station and DFWiRadio launched in December of 2009. After a lengthy departure, during which time her son Turhan and his wife Raquel continued to build and manage the station, as well as create DFWiGospel radio, the pandemic of 2020 gave her the time and desire to return to the world of internet media and continue to create and build the platform. Technology has made it more possible than ever to bring her goals to life! She also launched 24SevenBlack.com in 2021 |
