Ms. Green was appointed General Manager of WJLB-FM April 1982 and led WJLB through the most comprehensive turnaround in ratings and sales in the history of Detroit radio. This turnaround encompassed aggressive recruitment of new talent and management, tightly focused marketing, consistent pricing, and a firm commitment to community service.

In 1982, Green initiated Detroit's Coats For Kids, a program that has since distributed nearly 200,000 coats to needy children. This program has been copied in cities all across the United States.

WJLB has been the number one FM in Detroit since 1985 and is currently Detroit's top ranked radio station in all major demos. Throughout her broadcast career, Ms. Green has demanded that African American consumers be treated with dignity in commercial messages and in promotional activity.
