The Greenwood Beat – WFPG: Rebuilding Black Wall Street One Beat at a Time

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is more than just a radio station — it’s a powerful cultural movement, a voice for the people, and a beacon of restoration and pride for Tulsa’s Historic Greenwood District, widely known as the original Black Wall Street.

Founded by Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Ph.D., The Greenwood Beat – WFPG holds the distinction of being Oklahoma’s first woman-owned and first-ever radio station located on historic Greenwood Avenue. The station was birthed from a vision to restore the power of storytelling, amplify the voices of Black communities, and preserve the rich history and legacy of Black Wall Street while boldly stepping into the future with fresh, unapologetic programming.

A Legacy Rooted in Power

Greenwood Avenue was once a thriving economic hub filled with successful Black-owned businesses, churches, schools, and families.

Whether it’s conversations about mental health, economic development, entrepreneurship, or social justice, the content is always authentic, solution-driven, and rooted in love for the community.

Shows like Ask Angela, Trumpet on Greenwood, Refocused & Informed, The Greenwood Source, and Talkin Wit Trus bring together diverse voices from all generations, backgrounds, and experiences. And with the launch of programs like VibeZone: Youth Unscripted, Soul Food for the Soul, and Greenwood Literary Voices, the station continues to innovate and expand its reach.

A Call to Action: Support the Movement

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is more than just airwaves — it’s a platform for healing, legacy building, economic growth, and unapologetic Black media representation. From advertising opportunities for local businesses to national syndication for shows, from youth radio training camps to fundraising telethons to rebuild Greenwood — this station is working every day to transform lives.

You can support the movement by:

  • Becoming a monthly donor: Join “Keepers of the Beat” ($3/mo) or the “Legacy Loop” ($10/mo)

  • Advertising your business or service

  • Sponsoring a show or youth program

  • Tuning in and spreading the word

Visit www.thegreenwoodbeat.com to listen live, explore current programming, advertise, and become part of this legacy-driven platform.

The Future Is Now

With a vision to become one of the Top 100 radio stations in the country, Dr. Angela K. Chambers and her team are committed to making The Greenwood Beat – WFPG a national force. Every beat, every broadcast, every initiative is done with purpose: to restore what was lost, empower what’s rising, and reclaim the narrative for Black America — right from the heart of historic Greenwood.
