>Radio One Should Have Dumped "Grown Folks Radio"

urbanradionation

>If I was the Reverend Al Sharpton or even Warren Ballentine I might be a bit salty this week with my employer Radio One, for taking me off the air in Atlanta. Syndication One, the supplier of these African American based talk shows, owned by Radio One, just celebrated their third year anniversary with Al Sharpton’s show “Keeping It Real”. They obviously don’t have your back Al and Warren when it comes to supporting your efforts to bring issues effecting the African American community to the airwaves. Despite the fact that Radio One is a Black owned company, I think … Continue reading >Radio One Should Have Dumped "Grown Folks Radio"

>Tosha Johnson, an Atlanta resident has protested Radio One Atlanta’s format changes. She has started a group that is fighting to keep Warren Ballentine and Rev. Al Sharpton on the air. The group will protest outside Radio One’s offices in downtown Atlanta Monday from 8 to 4 p.m. An online petition has been started to ask Radio One to return Ballentine and Sharpton to the air despite the new PPM ratings system that suggest that Radio One needed to make changes within their Atlanta cluster of stations. Their first move was to dump the Smooth Jazz format on 107.5 FM … Continue reading >Atlanta Listeners Set to Protest at Radio One’s Atlanta Offices

>Around the Urban AC Radio Dial…

urbanradionation

>Syndication One talk show host Warren Ballentine told listeners last week that his show would lose it’s Atlanta affiliate 102.5 Grown Folks Radio (WAMJ). The talk is that Steve Harvey and Michael Baisden would move to the new Grown Folks Radio at 107.5 FM, while Ballentine and Al Sharpton talk shows would not. At the moment WJZZ 107.5 is still a smooth jazz station, but it looks like any day now the format will change. (How about next Monday?) Radio One is in an interesting situation in the Atlanta market. They own WAMJ, WJZZ, Syndication One and they have ownership/partnership … Continue reading >Around the Urban AC Radio Dial…

>Radio One Will Pull the Plug On Smooth Jazz in Atlanta

urbanradionation

> Radio One/Atlanta has dismissed the remaining local air talent of its longtime smooth jazz property, 107.5 WJZZ. Program Director Dave Kosh and air talent Greg Fitzgerald have exited. Radio One will abandon the smooth jazz format for Urban AC. The station at the moment is still playing smooth jazz music. Speculation has it that Steve Harvey will headline the new format at 107.5 FM. At the moment, Steve Harvey is the morning show over at Radio One’s Grown Folks Radio 102.5. However 107.5 has a much stronger signal than 102.5. Despite that fact, Grown Folks Radio has been gaining … Continue reading >Radio One Will Pull the Plug On Smooth Jazz in Atlanta

> Black Radio on Obama; Is Left’s Answer to Limbaugh Warren Ballentine, one of black talk radio’s new stars, was on a tear against Senator John McCain as he broadcast from the Greenbriar Mall (Atlanta) here last week, blithely dismissing Mr. McCain’s kind words about Senator Barack Obama at the recent N.A.A.C.P. national convention.“He came out talking about how good of a race Barack Obama was running, and how proud he was of Barack,” Mr. Ballentine said. “You know he went back home and said, ‘I can’t believe I spoke in front of all those Negroes today!’ ” Read More>> Continue reading >Black Radio on the left versus Conservative radio on the right
