On January 14th, Linkup Radio will expand even further by joining WPAT 930AM on Mondays through Thursday from 8PM to 9PM in the Brooklyn area.
“LinkUp Media felt the need to satisfy the complaints of people in Brooklyn by expanding our airwaves to 930AM” said David “Squeeze” Annakie, CEO and Chairman of LinkUp Media. “For years the people of Brooklyn have been asking for us to penetrate the Brooklyn Caribbean community. The signal of WVIP could not reach all households in the Brooklyn community, to rectify this we have joined forces with WPAT”. The programming of WPAT will be supported by 1st Republic Mortgage Bankers, the leader in the industry of providing mortgage financing in the Caribbean.
The programming of WPAT will follow the regular trends of LinkUp 93.5FM radio with news, sports, music, mortgage and immigrations plus more.
