About This Station

**Black Power 96 Community Radio** is a low-power FM (LPFM) community station based in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the motto “Not just explaining the world, but changing it!”. Under station manager Eddie Maultsby, “the world’s best blind DJ,” the station focuses on defending the human and civil rights of the African community through educational and cultural programming, while also offering professional broadcasting training and promoting economic self-reliance. Its English-language on-air content blends music, culture, and community news, with recent coverage of events like the Essence Festival and French Quarter Festival, alongside advocacy-driven segments. The website also highlights the station’s ongoing federal lawsuit against Pinellas County over withheld COVID relief funding, framing the station as a fighter for free speech and black rights. Listeners can tune in live, submit music, volunteer, or donate to support its mission.
