Who's Who In Black South Florida Publisher

C.T. Taylor is a media innovator with a career that spans more than 40 years, beginning with his own teen show at WMBM radio while still in high school in Miami, Florida. After a successful stint behind the radio mike, Taylor launched a career in television broadcasting at Miami’s leading station, WTVJ Channel 4, where he was a pioneer in black television programming. There, he hosted and produced the awarding-winning show, Black Is. Taylor was also acclaimed as a top local and national news correspondent, covering the bloody Liberty City race riots of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as various Caribbean stories.

After relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1987, Taylor was offered the opportunity to perform his “first love,” radio. Within two years, he won honors as Announcer of the Year at WAOK–AM. Years later, Taylor and his family purchased and successfully operated a 5,000-watt AM radio station, WPLV, in West Point, Georgia. He sold the station after six years and returned to Atlanta.

Taylor thoroughly understands the importance of giving back to the community. As such, he serves on a half dozen community boards and volunteers with the Sickle Cell Foundation.

In 2007 he joined Who’s Who Publishing Company as a senior account executive with the Who’s Who In Black Atlanta® publication. Taylor’s sales experience helped to create record sales for the Atlanta market. Additionally, he assists the southeast region vice president, Yolanda Reynolds, in the sales and development of Who’s Who publications in Birmingham, Alabama; Memphis, Tennessee; and Atlanta, Georgia.
