Founded
in 1992, Black Routes presents blues, rhythm 'n' blues
and gospel from the '20s to the 21st Century, with a
targeted 40% Australian content, and 35% women's music.

targets in excess of 50% black music.
The program also
includes zydeco, Tex-Mex and local "honky tonk" and a
capella styles, and occasional dashes of music from West
and South Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Black
Routes is presented by Gil Onyett, who has been involved
with community radio since 1988. Gil also worked briefly
as a relief Producer/Presenter on 2JJ (now Triple-J) in
1975, its first broadcast year.
