Making Waves in
the Multimedia Industry
|
Remember
Roy Eavins? He's the FAMU alum we
highlighted
back in March 2002
who is
makin' waves in the multimedia sector. His company? Jericho
Communications
Media Group, Inc - home of Jericho Broadcast Network (JBN), the
Black
College Sports Network, Pyramid Comix, and more much more! We
caught
up with Roy this month to get the latest on his projects.
If
you haven't
been listening to V108 Urban Vibe, you don't know what you're
missing.
It's a great mix of R&B, hip hop, and soul that you can groove to
while
you're working at the desk all day. We at the HBCU Network love
this station.
And since we last spoke to Roy, JBN has launched another station
under
the V108 The Vibe brand name called Gospel Vibes which plays the
best
in traditional and contemporary gospel music as well as sermons
from annointed
ministers nationwide. Both stations run 24/7 and have a number of
live
and recorded shows on topics such as sports, financial planning,
and spiritual
growth. Be sure to tune in regularly to Urban Vibes or Gospel
Vibes by
visiting www.JerichoBroadcasting.com
and picking your station. According to Roy, there's something for
everyone.

"We

information
to the Black community. The internet is a way to touch people all
over
the world at the same time. We will be the future of the Black
media."
