Don And Derek Black Show Goes Silent After Nearly Three Years Of Promoting The Stormfront Pro-White Message On AM Radio

The year 2012 closed on a somewhat sad note with the announcement that after a run of nearly three years on WBPR 1340 AM in West Palm Beach, the Don and Derek Black Show will be silenced. The last show aired on December 28th. The two most important attributes to the show was that it was the only explicitly pro-White show on AM radio, and that it had the muscle of the world's largest White nationalist resource, Stormfront, behind it. Archives of the show are still available HERE as of this post.
The entire history of the show is documented on a 168-page Stormfront thread entitled "Don and Derek Black Show on AM Radio". The show was originally launched by Derek Black, who had acquired considerable experience by hosting four one-hour weekly shows on Stormfront Radio, in February 2010. One of the primary reasons for going on AM radio was to reach people, particularly those in WBPR's listening area, who had not been previously reached online, although archives of each show were eventually posted online for those worldwide who wanted to listen. According to Al Kelz, a key supporter of the show, in order to increase its mainstream appeal, the show only skirted traditional topics such as the Holocaust, 9-11, and Jewish supremacism, instead focusing more extensively upon White genocide. It was hoped that this mainstream approach would better attract advertisers and ultimately lead to regional or national syndication.
But alas, the advertisers did not come forth in sufficient numbers, thus thwarting syndication efforts. In addition, some Stormfront members were miffed to find out that their Stormfront dues were also being used to support the radio show after backlash arose over Don Black's frequent call for more donations; some recommended that the radio show, which cost $600 per week for airtime, be sacrificed if necessary to preserve Stormfront. But many were supportive of the show, and Al Kelz just recently disclosed that he had poured a significant amount of personal funds into the show.
And it was on December 26th that listeners first learned that the show might have an expiration date, when it was announced that WPBR was changing ownership. The station was being purchased from Omni-Lingual Broadcasting Corporation, headed by Emil Antonoff, by Samuel Rogatinsky; Rogatinsky's Palm Beach Radio Group LLC paid $462,500. Rogatinsky is a prominent personal injury lawyer operating out of Fort Lauderdale; Avvo.com indicates that one of his languages is Hebrew. Rogatinsky has also taken a strong stand against sex abuse, to include abuse perpetrated by Haredi rabbis.
Perhaps it's because of Rogatinsky's ethnicity that Don Black, despite being invited to remain until January 20th by the departing station owner, decided to pull the plug on December 28th. It is problematic whether a Jewish radio station owner would have allowed a White nationalist talk show to continue on his station. One alternative now being considered is to reconstitute the show on the Jeff Rense website.
The SPLC was quick to exploit this development. In their December 27th post, they insinuate that Derek Black’s commitment to the racialist cause was weakening because Derek recently posted in an online student forum that he is not a white supremacist, supports gay marriage and is pro-choice. However, Derek Black subsequently wrote, “Everything I said is true, and I also believe in White Nationalism. My post and my racial ideology are not mutually exclusive concepts, and people can believe both. WN [white nationalism] doesn’t dictate specific creeds so much as my concern about white assimilation, which I still think is very much a problem.” So once again, the SPLC's disinformation efforts fail.
