Audio files of broadcast from WTWG AM 1050 in Columbus

Audio files of broadcasts from WTWG AM 1050 in Columbus, Mississippi.

WTWG is promoted as a Gospel radio station in the public and internet broadcasting category of Religious Ministry.

The making available of these audio files is claimed as a public service and in the public interest, given these uncontestable facts;

1. Robert Smith, former Columbus ward one city councilman and current mayor of the city of Columbus, has a twice monthly show on the station...
2. Kabir Karrriem, current Columbus city councilman of ward 5, has a daily show on the station...
3. Kamal Karriem, former Columbus city councilman and brother of current Columbus city councilman Kabir Karriem, is the co-host of brother Kabir's radio show...
4. Leroy Brooks, current and long standing Lowndes County supervisor of District 5, is a regular call-in guest of the station on several shows...
5. Joe Johnson, current assistant Columbus city police chief, who has sued the taxpayers of the city several times for not being given the job of permanent police chief, and who has an ongoing lawsuit against the taxpayers of the city for same, is a regular call-in guest to the station on several shows...

We believe the right of the people, to know the public actions and activities of their elected officials, overrides any concerns we might have over any legal action by the station, or its owners, T & W COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, of which the officers are listed as (FCC license application):

BENNIE TURNER, President and EDNA W. TURNER, treasurer, secretary, director.
