| Abstract | Radio executive Marv Dyson was born on November 28, 1937, in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated from Parker High School in 1955, and attended the College of Emporia, graduating in 1959. In 1968, Dyson worked for Johnson Publishing Company's WJPC-FM radio station in Chicago, becoming president and general manager. In 1978, Dyson left WJPC-FM to work for Clear Channel's WGCI-FM and WVAZ-FM as a sales account executive. He became general manager of the station in 1981. Dyson was promoted to president of WGCI-FM in 1994, after leading the station to Chicago's highest audience ratings. In 2003, Dyson retired as general manager of Clear Channel's urban radio station group. Dyson was an early investor in Urban Radio Communications, and in 2005, the group's properties doubled, making it the second-largest African American-owned radio company in the country. Dyson co-owned thirteen radio stations and served as director of operations at Kennedy King College's radio station, 89.3 WKKC-FM. |
