TOUCH
106.1 FM was founded in 2005 by Charles Clemons, John Laing and Leroy McLaren.
The Black community's voice was silenced by the sale of long-standing heritage
radio station, WILD. The trio set out to bring about change, and offer the
people a platform to voice their concerns, grievances and issues. The barrage
of offensive music and programming in today's urban radio industry put the
Black community at a disadvantage with lyrics positioned to degrade the
culture and set our people back hundreds of years.
TOUCH 106.1 is a community-based radio station catering to the broadcast needs
of the neighborhoods in our immediate broadcast rang. The founders of TOUCH
had a vision for the future of our community and the broadcast industry, and
through broadcasting, we will continue to focus on the need for family-oriented,
responsible, profanity-free radio programming.
Our Music Director, Courtney Boston is experienced in broadcasting, with a
bachelors degree in communications/broadcasting from Florida A&M University.
Courtney maintains the flow of the station's music format and playlist, and
she hosts the midday show weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
TOUCH 106.1 FM has always served the community, and our many community events
include: New England Urban Music Awards, Kite Festival, Talent Show for Tots,
High School Reunion Party, Father Daughter Dance, Unity in the Community Day,
Family Fun Weekend, Garret Presely Autism Resource Race, Liquarrie Jefferson
Man-Up March, Save Chez Vous Campaign, Peace, Unity, Love and Havin' Fun Cookout
and Block Party and many more scheduled events and parties which promote the
strengthening of the family and community.
Should you hear language in the music we play at TOUCH FM that you deem offensive,
foul or abusive, please email us and let us know. Our policy is to immediately
remove offensive music from our playlists, never to play them again. We are
committed to programming your entire family can listen to.
