Broadcasting the Blues
Blues radio took off in the post-World War II era with the arrival of rhythm & blues programming. A new ear for blues radio began in 2000 when Rip Daniels, a Gulfport native, launched the American Blues Network (ABN) at this site. Using satellite and Internet technology, ABN provided a mix of modern and vintage blues to listeners around the world.
