KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After 75 years, it's no stretch to call the Carter Broadcast Group Legendary. KPRS is the oldest, black-owned and family-operated radio broadcast company in the United States, founded by Skip Carter in 1950 in Kansas City.
Skip would go on to name his grandson, Michael Carter, to the helm in 1987. Carter explains what it means to be an R&B staple in the community and reflects on memories that built the station.
