Kashon Powell, VP of Programming for Radio One, has tapped veteran media personality Madelyne Woods to host a new morning show on WOL-AM/Washington, D.C. Woods takes over the slot that was vacated by Tom Joyner when he retired after 25 years of his syndicated show.
Woods is an established interviewer, well known for her celebrity exclusives and live reports.
“I’m very excited to get back to talk radio,” said Woods. “To have the opportunity to do it on WOL, the station where Ms. Cathy Hughes blazed a trail for black women and urban radio as a whole, is a dream come true. I want the show to be quick, smart, and witty. I want the DMV to wake up, feel good, and talk. We don’t talk to each other enough anymore, and it’s important that we focus on what’s real about ourselves and our community. We’re going to laugh, love, and learn together, and be unapologetically black and proud with it.”
“Madelyne is an iconic personality with a career that spans over two decades and having her on a legendary station such as WOL is a perfect match.” said Powell.
Ron Thompson, PD of WOL-AM added, “We’re excited about The Morning Goods with Madelyne Woods. We’re live, local, and all about D.C.”
