Mel Albin, has left an indelible mark in the field of higher education. As one of the first proponents of online learning, he transcended geographical barriers to teach students worldwide. His dedication to this innovative approach paved the way for distance learners to access quality education from prestigious institutions. Having served as an undergraduate and graduate professor of higher education, Mel’s insights and expertise has undoubtedly shaped countless minds. Equipped with a dual degree, a PhD in Neuropsychology and US Economic and Business History, Mel seamlessly transitioned into top executive management. As an executive director for two graduate business programs, Albin honed his skills in strategic planning and client relationship management. His invaluable contributions aided these programs in achieving new levels of success and recognition. In addition, as executive vice president of the US division in a major global Dutch pension and investment company, his insights helped expand their assets under management and net revenue in the US market. Through his experience as an artist manager, working with music producers, booking agents, and distribution channels, Mel gained an understanding of the intricacies of this dynamic field. His involvement in an FM Baltimore radio station further broadened his expertise, as he curated new shows and facilitated host development at WOLB 1010 AM Baltimore, MD. This comprehensive background laid the foundation for founding The SORC® TVradio Network. Taking advantage of the new airwave technology, SORC became one of the BBC’s fastest growing affiliates licensed through his affiliated parent company MFM Digital Broadcasting in the UK. SORC® TVradio has streamed to over 38 million viewers/listeners since inception and to over 3 million in N America. SORC broadcasts weekly to over 160,000 viewers/listeners in the DMV making The SORC® TVradio Network one of the biggest independent streaming radio stations anywhere. At about the same time that Albin founded The SORC® TVradio Network (formerly The SORC Radio Network) he co-founded and became the managing partner of a new shopping network, Shop Black Enterprise®, a cooperative association only for Black and Minority owned small businesses who can’t afford or rightfully do not want to pay the exorbitant prices charged to small entrepreneurs at Amazon, or risk losing their website and customers at Shopify. His advice: “Read the long contract for both very carefully. Shop Black Enterprise® is the only shopping platform that never takes a dime from the merchants sales; merchants keep 100% of every sale.” Shop Black Enterprise® also has a 501C3 charitable trust established solely for the benefit of all merchant members. The Shop Black Enterprise Showcase on the SORC TVradio Network features up to 6 merchants rotationally to show their products and services to a wide audience-- local, regional and global free of charge because its sponsor supported. Mel also created and owns Black Businesses Matter Live Aid Concert™ a charitable concert to raise money and awareness for the needs of Black small business owners, sole proprietors, who comprise over 98% of all Black businesses. Mel is 100% engaged to continue this journey and unlock the possibilities of a new 21st Century media frontier: simultaneously local and global, a streaming TVradio station built for the coming AI revolution that unites the world.
