Our family’s story in radio began with our grandfather, Kris Persaud, and his work with WLAA. We remember the live shows around Lake Eola in downtown Orlando and the local carnivals where listeners could meet us in person. Showing up for our community mattered to him, and it still matters to us. Today, Shanti Persaud leads Unity Broadcasting and carries that tradition forward.
WOKB’s roots go back to the 1950s. As Tiger Radio on 1600 AM, it was Central Florida’s first full-time Black radio station.

WOKB’s community storyOn The Encounter, Apostle Roderick Davenport prays for people from different eras of WOKB to reconnect as a family.
And the Lord says I am also reconnecting those that have been through the lineage of this broadcast station, some that have left through the season. I am reconnecting them in this season. And God say, once as it was the WOKB family, God says even now it shall be the WOKB family, and even greater, says the Lord. And God, we give your name the praise.
