Sabrina Black's Radio History

         Sabrina graduated from Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in 1989. Her first radio job was at WRIF in Detroit. She became the research director and worked there until 1992.

Sabrina made several radio stops from 1988 to 1996 including supervising the broadcast department at AAA Michigan, night time DJ at WPON, part time air personality at WSDS, WOMC, WLTI, and delivered traffic reports through Metro Networks to multiple stations including WJR, WWJ, WDFN, WWWW, WDRQ, WXYT.

In October of 1996 Sabrina was hired as the night time radio host at WWBR, 102.7 The Bear in Detroit. She was there for 14 months, then took a brief job on the WDRQ morning team before joining WDFN 1130AM as a sportscaster in 1998.

WDFN 1130 the Fan was one of the nation's first and more successful all-sports radio formats. Sabrina was the lead female at the station and got some national attention as such. She worked with Stoney & Wojo, the #1 afternoon show at the time, and later with the morning show Jamie & Gregg.

Sabrina’s battle with Hodgkins Disease started in 2000 and she decided to be very open and public about her disease on the radio. She worked through several rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and a huge list of side effects until the cancer forced her into long-term disability in 2003.

Sabrina continued to give updates on her condition to the WDFN radio audience through more chemotherapy, more radiation, 2 bone marrow transplants, and more complications than she could calculate. She even made yearly appearances during the Stoney & Wojo Radiothons to help raise money for the very disease she was fighting.
