ATLANTA - Former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell is joining the Edwards Broadcasting, a black-owned company based in Pittsburgh. <br>
<br>
Campbell will remain in Atlanta and will serve Edwards as vice president of corporate communications and legal affairs, he said Thursday in Washington. <br>
<br>
``I'm a young guy I'm 48 and I've loved broadcasting, and it gives me a chance in particular for enhancing the opportunities for minorities,'' said Campbell, who was replaced by Shirley Franklin on Monday. <br>
<br>
The company is trying to buy as many broadcast stations across the country as possible and also is promoting an entertainment-oriented television program that it produces. <br>
<br>
The president and CEO, Campbell friend Eddie Edwards, is head of the Black Broadcaster Alliance, a national organization that supports minority media ownership. <br>
