History

BLACKSTATES PROJECTS – EXPANDED HISTORY 1. The Origin of Blackstates (2017–2018) The roots of Blackstates trace back to a high-school Chemistry lesson in Senior 2. During a topic on alkalines and atoms, the founder earned the nickname “Blackest,” which later evolved to General Blackest. This identity, tied to curiosity, resilience, and creativity, would eventually inspire the birth of the name Blackstates. 2. Early Vision for Media (2019) In 2019, driven by passion for communication and digital creativity, the founder launched Blackstates Online TV, marking the first attempt at building a media brand. However, the project faced challenges: Limited resources Academic commitments The founder was still in Senior 5 at Busoga High School, Kamuli Lack of stable equipment and funding As a result, Blackstates Online TV could not continue sustainably. Yet, the failure became a stepping stone, planting the seeds for a larger vision. 3. Growth Into Multiple Sectors (2024) By 2024, the founder had gained more skills, clarity, and discipline. This year marked a transformation and expansion beyond online media. Two major ventures were launched: Blackstates Saloon – a community-based grooming and beauty service brand. Blackstates Empowering Community Organisation (BECO) – created to uplift communities through empowerment, skills development, and youth support.

What could be the reason there is no sound?

1. Make sure your speakers and the media player are not muted :) Not an uncommon problem ;)
2. Please try again in another browser, preferably Chrome, Firefox and when using a windows media player option Internet Explorer.
3. Try another stream type clicking: windows media player or external player as alternative
4. Be patient, some radiostations load within 10-20 seconds due to high traffic issues.
5. If you do not have any flash player we automatically load the second best player, so again be patient.
6. If the stream doesn't start automatically please click the play button or the mp3 option on the right, please retry 1,2 or 3 times. Most of the times this works.
7. If you are using a windows media player, this will mostly only work in Internet Explorer.
8. A radiostation might be temporarily unavailable due to several reasons. If your favorite station is not working right now, please try again in a few moments.
9. The media player isn't showing/working in your browser, check below what you can do about it
10. Try another computer or device (tablet, phone etc).
11. Some radiostations have limited rights for international broadcasting. Some stations only broadcast in their own country. For example BBC in the UK and lots of stations in the US. If you really want to listen use a proxy server from that specific country to solve this problem.
