Soul Beat continues to reign as an iconic brand that gives aspiring talent and small businesses the exposure they deserve. From its founding in 1978 to the present day, every community member shows love and appreciation to the television network that connects them all.
Let’s take you back to where it all began…

This year, “Soul Beat Day” returns.

The owner, Chuck Johnson, had a lot to say about bringing Soul Beat to the 21st century!
“This is just the beginning,” Johnson said. “My intention is to give the new generation a picture of what ‘Soul Beat’ was. Once they get that, it becomes part of their culture, and we can present ‘Soul Beat’ for today.”
