Urban Radio - Unlocked!

"We are the new frontier" Horace Cayton

Willis G. Smith launched W.G. Smith & Associates as an independent research, media and consulting firm after a successful career in cable television management with Time Warner Cable in North Carolina.

He expanded the customer base and market share during his tenure with Time Warner Cable by paying close attention to the urban market’s diversity, demographic changes, household income segments and community cultures.

As a result of this direct experience with a Fortune 50 company - W.G. Smith & Associates specializes in the urban marketplace, where diverse, multicultural and mult-enthic population groups reside, and where so much media and market competition is concentrated. We produce one of the industry's foremost syndicated report series on the urban marketplace -- the Urban Market Report: A Tapestry of Media & Life®.

But like many American stories, W.G. Smith and the Urban Market Report: A Tapestry of Media & Life® is a story about opportunity. It is a classic American tale created out of boldness and hard scrabble. It's about seeing a need and trying to fulfill it.

It's a story about the topdog and the underdog and the roles in between. What we are comes from the back roads and Tobacco Road, the glimmer of big city off Murray Hill in Manhattan, and around the globe in the new urban frontier.
