"WVON is pleased to add the Black Information Network (BIN) as our national news source," said Melody Spann Cooper, Chair and Executive Officer for Midway Broadcasting Corporation. "WVON's 24-hour Black talk format is an important and impactful voice in the Chicago market, and BIN is the perfect complement to keep our vibrant local community aware of what's happening across the country.
