Radio One announced on Tuesday it is ready to cover the upcoming political conventions from “the Black perspective.” Radio One Corporate Communications VP Yashima AziLove said, “There couldn’t be a more critical time in our country for Black media to engage in the political process. More now than ever the outcry of Black people continues to reverberate throughout this country for equality, justice, and reform. Our entire platform will be represented at each convention to ensure our community is informed of each presidential nominee’s plan to address the issues plaguing America, especially those that impact daily Black life. ”
EZ Street, midday talent on Washington D.C.’s WKYS 93.9 FM, will provide daily live coverage from the convention floor, along with recaps on all of Reach Media’s nationally syndicated morning shows. EZ Street will also “take it to the street” and interview delegates, in addition to residents in Cleveland and Philadelphia, to capture the energy of these convention cities for listeners.
Audiences can follow Roland Martin and EZ Street’s behind-the-scenes footage, and complete, unbroadcasted interviews from the Republican and Democratic National Conventions at NewsOne.com.
Radio One and Reach Media reach over 25 million listeners weekly.
