By most accounts, the Cotton Club Orchestra was one of the earliest shows heard on a radio network-- NBC, in 1930 (it had been heard on New York radio for several years prior to getting a network slot); Duke Ellington was in the band at that time. Another early black performer with his own radio show was Noble Sissle, whose band was heard on the CBS radio network beginning in 1931.
