Clear Channel Radio's The Beat of New York, 103.5fm KTU (WKTU-FM), will commemorate the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death by playing songs spanning Jackson's career from his early days in the Jackson 5, to his epic days of Thriller and his journey to his latest comeback, in our 24-hour feature, MJ All Day. This will lead into a Michael Jackson weekend, which will feature special MJ programming segments on Saturday and Sunday.

To complement MJ All Day, 103.5 KTU has launched the website http://www.thankyoumj.com/. ThankYouMJ.com will give listeners the opportunity to leave their tributes for Michael Jackson via Facebook or by tagging Twitter posts with #thankyoumj; 103.5 KTU will read select tributes throughout the Michael Jackson programming. ThankYouMJ.com also features dozens of classic, full-length Michael Jackson music videos, photos and more.

WKTU Program Director, Rob Miller, stated: "KTU's MJ All Day on-air tribute, coupled with our new website, ThankYouMJ.com, is a great way for our listeners to pay tribute to the King of Pop."

The KTU family and fans would like to share in the celebration of Michael Jackson's life and his extraordinary contributions to pop music.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
