The show was founded around 1994 by Alvin Fair. After its first year, Big Quasar joined on the broadcast & DJ Fusion joined in 1998. The broadcast is held regularly on Sunday evenings from 8-9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The Rutgers Univ. Radio Station, WRSU 88.7 FM, has a 50 mile radius from it's location in central New Jersey in the city of New Brunswick.
Our musical focus on the music influenced by the African & African-American Diaspora (such as rap, soul, house, jazz, funk, hip-hop, reggae, soca, blues, r&b, etc.).
About once a month, we have specials focusing on a specific form of this music.
African New Dawn also extends interviews to new, unknown, un(der) exposed and established music artists, businesspeople and activists.
There is also a focus on news issues affecting the local, statewide, national and global community.
Now we are in the process of having our shows rebroadcast on the internet (most likely through another music site until WRSU connects live to the internet in 2001) soon along with exclusive DJ Fusion mixes.
